@Tal,

Please read this line: “Running system-resolved caching DNS daemon on a production server can be dangerous due to the numerous number of DDOS attacks performed by malicious hackers against unsecured DNS servers.”

So it’s depends on you whether you want to active or not..

Thank you, very helpful. Just a question: you mentioned “Staring with Ubuntu 16.10 release, the default DNS resolver is now controlled by systemd-resolved service” and then you stop and disabled it.

So how the system resolve dns queries? where can I find which dns is in use?

Thanks
