Describe the problem

Using netbird on my machine, I am not able to use the dns resolver and cannot connect to other machines using <mahcine-x>.netbird.cloud. I can still access other machines using the ip, and this issue is not present on my phone. The issue seems to be due to the /etc/resolvd.conf not being updated by netbird up. Could it be as I am not using systemd-resolvd?

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Run netbird up
  2. Run ping <machne-x>.netbird.cloud
  3. [See error](ping: .netbird.cloud: Name or service not known)

Expected behavior

The DNS should resolve normally.

Are you using NetBird Cloud?

Yes.

NetBird version

0.49.0

Is any other VPN software installed?

No

I got this issue:

failed to apply DNS host manager update: unable to configure DNS for this peer using file manager without a nameserver group with all domains configured

This is while I was using resolvconf, I think it could be fixed by just adding a name server through the admin panel. In the end I just ended up using systemd-resolved.
