Resolv.conf

Resolv.conf is a computer file used by various operating systems as a DNS resolver. The file is in plain text. It’s usually generated by the system administrator or a network program. The file is located in the /etc/ directory and contains the search domain as well a list of nameservers.

Here’s an example of the /etc/resolv.conf file.

search domain.com local.lan
nameserver 1.1.1.1
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 9.9.9.9

search domain.com local.lan nameserver 1.1.1.1 nameserver 8.8.8.8 nameserver 9.9.9.9

If you have problems resolving domain names, check this file first.
