Ubuntu DNS issue fix DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_BAD_CONFIG

Issue  I've been playing with a VPN and somehow it messed up my DNS resolution configurations. Chrome gives  DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_BAD_CONFIG  error and can't ping google. So it seemed to be an issue with the DNS. Of course, restarting didn't fix it. I tried DNS lookup which gave me below. To make sure this is somehting to do with my DNS confgis, I ran the same by providing the google DNS servers.  It works, which means my default DNS is not working for some reason. To make sure this, ran the below command. systemd-resolve --status Output has an entry for DNS Servers, which was  ::1 Fix 1. Edit the file /etc/systemd/resolved.conf. sudo vi /etc/systemd/resolved.conf 2. Add new DNS entries. I added 2 google DNS and the cloudflare DNS sever. [Resolve] DNS=8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 1.1.1.1 3. Restart the systemd-resolved and check the configuration is persisted in /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf file. sudo service systemd-resolved restart cat /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf Same contents
