Description

today on a university network that blocked ports etc, I ran into an issue where having /etc/resolv.conf configured with nameserver 192.168.64.1 worked, but nameserver 8.8.8.8 (google DNS) did not work

on other networks i've experienced the opposite being true -- google DNS fixes dns resolution, but using 192.168.64.1 didn't work

It would be nice to solve this for 100% of cases. I'm not an expert in this area, suggestions appreciated

Research direction

Start by investigating how HyperOS and hypercore currently obtain or configure DNS, using the reported /etc/resolv.conf values as the reproduction case. Compare host OS DNS behavior with 192.168.64.1 and 8.8.8.8; done means DNS resolution works across the network conditions described.
