DNS servers help to fetch the correct IP address of the URLs requested from a client computer. All browsers like Safari, Chrome or Firefox running on a client computer by default use the DNS server settings of the Internet Service Provider (ISP). Sometimes it is necessary to change the default DNS servers in order to ensure unrestricted, safe and fast surfing experience. This also will help to resolve IP related problems like resolving host issue in Google Chrome browser and helps the sites load faster.

This article explains the step by step process of how to change DNS servers IP addresses in Apple macOS High Sierra. We use Google public DNS servers in this example, while you can use any reliable DNS.
Step 1 – Open Network Settings

There's a lot of conflicting information about how to set networking information (such as DNS resolution configuration) from the terminal. In the course of setting up a VPN package (openvpn) on OS X, I had to set the DNS resolution configuration dynamically from a shell script.As of (at least) 10.3, /etc/resolv.conf (or /var/run/resolv.conf) is NOT the place to do this. Apr 19, 2017 5. Choose the “DNS” tab at the top of the screen to edit, add, or remove DNS. Add a new DNS server: click on the + plus button. Edit an existing DNS server: click twice on the DNS IP address you wish to change. Remove a DNS server: select a DNS server IP address and then click either the - minus button or hit the delete key. Download the Mac Cisco AnyConnect VPN client via the Related Downloads box to the right on this page. Run the downloaded program. Note: the version number may be different from the screenshot above. When the installation starts, double click AnyConnect to continue. Click Continue twice.
Click on the Apple icon on the top left corner of your Mac and go to “System Preferences…” option. Alternatively press “Command + Spacer bar” to open spotlight search box and search for “system preference”. Click on the “System Preference” application.

Click on “Network” icon as shown in the below picture.
Open Network Settings in macOS
Step 2 – Enable Edit Network Settings
Choose the network adapter showing in green signal indicating the connection. In general this should be your Wi-Fi connection showing first in the list on the right sidebar. It should be an ethernet connection if you are still using old Mac with cable connection.
Enable Edit Option in Mac Network Settings
- Select the active connection.
- Click on the “Click the lock to make changes” option. Provide your administrator password and enable edit options.
- Click on the “Advanced…” button.
Step 3 – Changing DNS Server Addresses
Navigate to DNS tab where you can see the default DNS servers assigned by your ISP in the box. Select the default DNS servers and click on the – button to remove them. Again click on + button and add your own DNS server details.
Here we have shown commonly used Google’s public DNS servers as:
Primary server – 8.8.8.8
Secondary server – 8.8.4.4
Click on OK button to save your changes. That’s it!!! You have successfully changed the DNS servers in your Mac.
1. Remember to enter two IP addresses one for primary and other for secondary server.
2. Rock climbing el capitan. 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 are IPv4 addresses. In case of IPv6, you should use, 2001:4860:4860::8888 and 2001:4860:4860::8844 for primary and secondary servers respectively.

I believe if you have flat files configured as an option in directory access, that /etc/resolv.conf should work fine (it does for me). You just need to do a sudo killall -1 lookupd when you make changes, to force lookupd to reread the files.
We tried this, it didn't work.
The FFAgent for lookupd reads a whole bunch of files (listed in the lookupd man page) but not /etc/resolv.conf.

Be aware that scutil/scselect only function for the current boot of the machine - on reboot, the information that configd uses (in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist) is re-read; any and all changes made with scutil will be lost (if you read the man pages, you'll note that it refers to the 'dynamic store' that configd uses. The dynamic store gets reinitialized whenever configd restarts - whether by reboot, 'kill -HUP `cat /var/run/configd.pid`' or something else.)
If you're looking for something to make *permanent* changes to network settings, you'll want the ncutil framework [Google is your friend.]

I use Tunnelblick/openvpn to connect to HotSpotVPN from my mac; however, I can't get the new DNS settings to take. I see the /etc/resolv.conf file change to reflect the new DNS settings, but Safari and Mail.app still use my original settings. Even upon issuing a ' kill -HUP `cat /var/run/lookupd.pid`' or 'lookupd -flushcache', the original DNS settings are used. DNS lookups using host and ping work fine, however. I'm using 10.4.1. Any ideas to get Safari and Mail.app to use the DNS settings issued once connected to the VPN?
You need to incorporate the methods mentioned in the hint into script files that are run by openvpn. I don't know anything about the particular VPN server you mentioned, but as of a few weeks ago there was no working script available from openvpn.net to correctly take the DNS configuration from openvpn and apply it to configd.
We intend to submit our scripts to the openvpn.net site once our testing period is over.

/etc/resolv.conf is not the primary source for OS X and later; take a look at scutil --dns to see the current resolver configuration. It is possible to get the DNS stuff to override for the duration of an OpenVPN tunnel; I wrote a script that uses it (Python using the SystemConfiguration framework wrapper) and can send it to anyone who's interested..
Update:
Another (better?) way to reset the lookup configuration for an interface is to use ipconfig (but you need sudo).
ipconfig <interface> DOWN
then
ipconfig <interface> DHCP
will force a re-read of DHCP configuration over the network.

Sorry that should be

Shouldn't you be using:
State:/Network/Global/DNS
instead of:
State:/Network/Service/PRIMARY_SERVICE_ID/DNS
If you've defined any DNS servers in the Network system preferences, they won't be listed in the dictionary returned by the primary interface. Also, the information in the global DNS record is an exact match for the contents of resolv.conf

I'm not sure. This didn't work for us, any changes made to ../Global/DNS wouldn't be reflected in resolv.conf.

Here my little Shell Script to Set the DNS.
See the Power of the Shell:
Filename: setdsn
-------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
# Script is used to set the Nameserver Lookup under Max OS X 10.4 with the Console
# Script by Stephan Oeste <[email protected]>
if [ $# -lt 2 ] ; then
echo 'Use: $0 <domain> <1.Nameserver> [2.Nameserver]'
echo 'Example Use: $0 example.tld 1.2.3.4 1.2.3.5'
exit 1
fi
PSID=$( (scutil | grep PrimaryService | sed -e 's/.*PrimaryService : //')<< EOF
open
get State:/Network/Global/IPv4
d.show
quit
EOF
)
scutil << EOF
open
d.init
d.add ServerAddresses * $2 $3
d.add DomainName $1
set State:/Network/Service/$PSID/DNS
quit
EOF
-------------------------------------------------
Create the file
chmod +x setdns
And then use ist with (Example): setdns domain.com 12.23.34.45

Cool, Emzy.
You may be interested, I contributed some scripts to openvpn.org for automatically dsitributing the nameserver configuration over the openvpn tunnel. You won't have to set the resolver configuration manually in that case. But your script should be great for fixing a stuffed config..
