How can you change DNS servers on Ubuntu-Mate 22.04 (e.g. for a pi-hole)?

I also use a custom DNS, it is actually quite ease to select another one:

  1. Click the network icon on the taskbar.
  2. select: Edit Connections -> (select the connection of your choice) -> cogwheel
  3. change Method to "Automatic (DHCP) addresses only"
  4. fill in your dns-address** on the line "DNS servers"

** if you want more dns-addresses, seperate them with a comma.

In this example you see 127.0.2.1 as DNS because I have a DNS-crypt-proxy locally
but you can fill in any legitimate DNS address you want.
