Quick question from a newbie: Is there a way to simply reset the resolv.conf file? According to Synology support, my resolv.conf shows some strange DNS servers, which I have never specified. How can I reset the file so it simply uses the DNS servers from my default gateway (i.e. my router)? I have specified my DNS servers there and want my DS to use these DNS servers.

One possible way is to enable ssh service on Synology NAS, login and edit /etc/resolv.conf
Here is a page which describe how to enable it.
Enable SSH service
Go to the terminal setting page on your Synology device:
Synology NAS: DSM Control Panel > Terminal & SNMP > Terminal
Synology Router: SRM Control Panel > Services > System Services > Terminal
Tick Enable SSH service.
Specify a port number for SSH connections and save the settings. To ensure system security, we suggest replacing the default port 22 with another one

Thank you. And once I am connected, it would work just like a normal text editor? I.e. I can open the resoilv.conf file and edit it in Notepad? – bakgwei Jun 20 '22 at 18:28

@bakgwei, AFAIK this NAS is Linux based, so you should learn how to use text editor(s) in Linux. – Romeo Ninov Jun 20 '22 at 19:08
