Describe the problem
A report when /etc/resolv.conf is protected (ie. chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf):
I'm trying to enforce a global DNS resolver on all connections by
routing all requests through Unbound listening on 127.0.0.1@53
In order to prevent overwriting by various programs (such as dhcpcd,
NetworkManager, or IVPN) of the DNS nameserver, /etc/resolv.conf is
write-protected (attribute +i).
This isn't an issue with systemd-resolved as a stub, because it
makes /etc/resolv.conf a symlink, and ignores all writes (while
returning a success message), while enforcing global DNS settings
through an overarching service.
Unbound can't do that, and doesn't symlink anything. It needs
/etc/resolv.conf to point programs to its sink.
Most programs get on well with this. However, IVPN refuses to
establish the connection if it can't set DNS (message: Error: failed to
connect: connection error: failed to set DNS: DNS error: failed
to change DNS configuration:
exit status 1).
IVPN should ignore this and get on with the connection. At least
alert the user to the fact that DNS can't be set, and give an option
to connect without setting DNS. After all, using IVPN CLI on Linux
is an advanced feature, and it's likely that some users might want
to try non-standard or advanced network configs.
[Try Custom DNS?]
It still fails due to failure to set custom DNS.
Error: failed to
connect: connection error: failed to set DNS: DNS error: failed
to change DNS configuration:
exit status 1
