how to change DNS server for a static IP

[jameshenderson]

Hi,

I created a virtual switch and in the process set my DNS servers to google.

I now have a pi-hole and would like to switch to that.

However, I cannot find a way to alter the dns server settings. Do I need to delete that switch and start again?

However, I cannot find a way to alter the dns server settings.

If you mean on the Qnap you set it in the settings of the physical interfaces, unless you use DHCP for your IP-assignment as then you would do the change in the DHCP-server.

Do I need to delete that switch and start again?

Most likely not.

Hi,

Thanks for you reply.

...unless you use DHCP for your IP-assignment as then you would do the change in the DHCP-server.

I am on a static IP, so no DHCP.

yes, I do mean on the QNAP, but as I am on a static IP, I can see but not edit the DNS server IPs.

got it!

I had to re-configure the virtual Switch that was connected to that adaptor.

Settings -> Network and Virtual Switch -> Virtual Switch -> Configure
