a lot of websites seem to be down.....

Cat <belowemail | sed ‘s/reolov.conf/resolv.conf/g’

Also, I recommend making sure that resolv.conf doesn’t have anything useful before that first redirect, OR change it to >>

Also, note that all that work will be blown away the next time resolvconf runs, so you might want to put stuff into the correct file in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d (base, head, or tail.  Probably you want ‘base’)  - which implies that my sed command above should be “sed ‘s/reolov.conf/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base/g’” ;-)

okay then. I googled how to change the dns from the command line and this is what I found:

sudo su
<enter>
cd ~
echo nameserver  96.90.175.167 > /etc/reolv.conf
<and then I supposse to put the other addresse in>
echo nameserver  193.183.98.154 >> /etc/reolv.conf
echo nameserver  8.8.8.8 >> /etc/reolv.conf
echo nameserver  8.8.4.4 >> /etc/reolv.conf

why do I not just want to use googles dns?

No. No it doesn't.

Google DNS is for emergencies only when you weren't prepared before.

well.... I drove home and turned my computer on to change the dns and everything appeared to be back to normal. But this tells me to change dns to googles dns addresses! right?

For anyone following along and wondering... How do it know?
Here is how to press Butan.

Go to https://www.opennicproject.org/configure-your-dns/ and choose three DNS servers. The first one should be local to your country. The second one should be local to your country. The third should be a foreign nation. I recommend looking up "Five Eyes" and then  picking from a country not on that list.
But but but.... I can't get to opennicproject! DNS is down!
Ok.
Since you are obviously using Linux as your daily driver, you should have done all this BEFORE the world caught on fire. But let's pretend you didn't. Open your terminal and type

dig @193.183.98.154<http://193.183.98.154> opennicproject.org<http://opennicproject.org> A
or
dig @8.8.8.8<http://8.8.8.8> opennicproject.org<http://opennicproject.org> A
or
dig @8.8.4.4<http://8.8.4.4> opennicproject.org<http://opennicproject.org> A
Keep using DNS providers to do a search until you get through or give up and go outside to play. Either one.

So you can get the IP address for the A record? Then open /etc/hosts with your vim. Did you sudo up? You should have.
sudo vim /etc/hosts
Now go to the bottom of the thing and type

66.228.63.70 opennicproject.org<http://opennicproject.org>
Do you even wq bruh?
Now you are a rootin tootin sharp shootin linux hacker. Console cowboy giddy up.
Bruh - Why did you pick three DNS from different places?
Because the likelihood they take down the whole world DNS is low. You can probably still get to the interwebs if you have east coast, west coast, and totally not germany in your list of places to try.
Bruh - Who is 'they'?
The lizard people who control icann and currently control the planet through manipulation of our free time and access to reddit.com<http://reddit.com>. The greys use Windows.
Bruh - What else can I do to be prepared for the lizard people?
Build a VPN in a foreign country. Add the rules to switch to a different set of DNS when connected to the VPN. I VPN to a europeeing country and then I switch to DNS from that nation. Unless they hit your DNS for that nation(s), you can easily pivot and be back online at the click of a button.

Bruh - I Use Windows... What OS should I be using?

Also, if the above link doesn't load, add the following to etc hosts first
66.228.63.70 opennicproject.org<http://opennicproject.org>
That is a temporary fix until you are back online.

You are doing something wrong. Your DNS has nothing to do with system proxy, google chrome, or any thing of the ilk.

https://www.opennicproject.org/configure-your-dns/
Go to the link, find your OS, and follow the instructions.

well, I  googled how to change dns and the instructions were to go:
proxy configuration under settings but when I did it said:

When running Google Chrome under a supported desktop environment, the system proxy settings will be used. However, either your system is not supported or there was a problem launching your system configuration.

But you can still configure via the command line. Please see man google-chrome-stable for more information on flags and environment variables.

which is strange since this is a brand new install of chrome.

Because if it's a ddos they are going to take down all the fun and interesting sites. Your computer probably has a cached ip for Google. Google has a resilient infrastructure.

I'm sure someone will chime in with how to change DNS. You should never be using the stock DNS or DNS powered by your ISP any ways.

This is how it starts.... First they take away the cat videos, then your email, and next it will be your free software.

Probably another DDOS on your DNS. Change your DNS to 96.90.175.167 and 193.183.98.154

They make take your Reddit.... But they will never take your freedom.... GNU!
