  • DNS turns a domain name into an IP which can then be used to send data through your router, a dns server is the server which is used to do this conversion (www.google.com turns into an IP 1.2.3.4 (that isn’t the actual IP of google)).

    There are many dns servers, normally your local devices use your router as the dns server, which forwards it to your ISP which they further transfer it over global dns servers.

    Alternatively you could use Google’s DNS server (8.8.8.8) or cloudflares DNS server (1.1.1.1) but if the one on your router works then just use it.

    nameserver is the same as DNS server

    Tldr: set the router IP as your dns server, you only need this one.


  • …that’s the valid response, does ping www.google.com work and curl www.google.com return a bunch of text?

    If ping www.google.com doesn’t work then your system isn’t using the correct dns server, though your local dns server works (as seen by the prior dig).

    If curl works then…you have a working internet connection, maybe check the browser settings for proxy or something.
