Q&A: How do I change the DNS server settings to use ‘Open DNS’ in Linux Mint?

Posted on May 28, 2019

Question from Brad:  I recently replaced Windows Vista on my old Dell desktop computer with Linux Mint based on your recommendation in this post.

I’m happy with the upgrade (and it really is an upgrade), but I need your help with something.

On my Windows systems I have the DNS server settings all pointing to Open DNS because it seems to work so much better.

I’d like to change the DNS settings on this machine too but I’m afraid I might mess something up if I just go in there changing things without knowing what I’m doing.

Can you give me step-by-step instructions for changing the DNS server to Open DNS in Linux Mint?

Thanks in advance for your help. PS. Love your blog!!!
