Originally created by @l3pr-org on GitHub (Sep 4, 2025).

By default, Newt uses (1) (2) 8.8.8.8, Google's DNS servers.

In an effort to improve user privacy, an alternative such as Quad9 should be considered for use as the default. PrivacyGuides has a nice list of trusted and respected free, public DNS resolvers. Despite the presence of Cloudflare on the list, I would like to personally disrecommend its usage.
