Linux Mint 21.2

Overview

The easiest way to set Quad9 on your entire network is via your router settings. If you'd prefer to set Quad9 on a single system, please follow the steps below to configure Linux Mint to use Quad9.

Firefox, VPNs

• Firefox is set to use Cloudflare DNS by default in some regions. If you're using Firefox, check that this is disabled.
• VPNs typically do not respect the system or router-level DNS settings. If you're using a VPN, configure Quad9's IP addresses in the Custom DNS settings of your VPN client. Refer to your VPN provider's documentation for further information.

Instructions

• Click the Network or Wi-Fi icon on the system tray in the bottom-right corner.
  • Click Network Settings
    • Click the icon on the bottom-right corner of the dialogue window.

IPv4

• Select IPv4 on the left-side menu.
  • In the DNS section:
    • Disable Automatic
      • Click the :plus: botton to add a second Server field.
        • Enter 9.9.9.9 in the first Server field, and 149.112.112.112 in the second.
          • Click Apply

Verify Configuration

Confirm you're using Quad9 by visiting on.quad9.net in your preferred browser.
