I’m using e/os and I want to be sure that, when connected to my local network, my local dns server is used, however, no matter what I do, my phone always use google’s one. Is there any way to fix this?

    Are you sure? I believe that using ipleak.net will provide you with a detailed report of your public IP address, DNS servers, WebRTC status, and other network-related information. However, it will not show you the internal DNS server you are using within your local network.

    You are right that Android’s system-wide DNS settings (e.g., those configured in Wi-Fi or mobile network settings) are not automatically applied to Termux. Termux runs in a sandboxed environment and manages its own network configuration. I will try changing Termux but keep in mind that the reason I checked Termus is because local dns resolution do not work on all my android devices, I can resolv local addresses only if I connect to my home network remotely using a vpn.

      I believe that using ipleak.net […] will not show you the internal DNS server you are using within your local network.

      You’re right. It won’t show internal one. As I mentioned I don’t have internal DNS server set up, so I only used it to check whether changing DNS in wifi settings will actually take effect, and it did. That’s why I believe setting it to internal one should take effect as well.

      I may try to setup custom DNS in my local network when I have some free time.
