ugh. my isp apparently doesn't allow to change DNS in its routers. what a load of bullshit.

Internet has been really flakey lately because of this

    Can't you just change them in your device?

    Computers, phones and even most TVs can.

    Add your own router after the provided one if you must use it

    two options: 1) change your ISP, because they are obviously a supporter of orweillian dystopias. 2) add your own router behind it and let that one handle DNS.

    In addition to your own router, also set it up for DNS-over-HTTPS so your ISP doesn't still hijack DNS requests.

    (I don't know how common this is anymore, but scummy ISPs have tried everything.)

    @CoreFusionX even though you can, it's bloody annoying (I can relate cause I have the same issue)

    Well in that case, as @electrineer said set your ISP provided router to ONT mode and use your own router.

    @CoreFusionX yeah, actually I rented a vps and set up a vpn on my rasp. Pretty overengineered tbh but it works.

    yes when I get around to it I'll propably set up an old router from a brand to do everything exept the internet translation (whatever the technical term is). that router is already in use as an overpriced switch btw.

    @CoreFusionX true but I actually quite like DHCP ;)

    @tosensei maybe less orwellian and more of the spreading infantillization of users

    I wanna fix my own damn shit but of course as a user I'm to dumb for that and should be kept out

    You can keep using DHCP while having a manual DNS.

    its so you can never leave the existing DNS system and they can tighten control more and more.

    This will become increasingly common going forward.
