Hi, I have recently issue with resolv.conf when I modified (added dns servers) without original backup. After that I had Issues with connecting to Internet where I MUST compulsory use a vpn to change my IP to even connect to Internet (then I can disable and Internet still works). Also after messing up the dns kept changing automatically (I give 8.8.8.8 , 8.8.4.4 and After boot it reset to 10.1.127.6 so I installed DNScrypt but still I had to run WIndscribe then disconnect at start to connect to Internet).
IDK why but today It took 10 mins to connect to windscirbe (Windscribe is currently busy, please wait…
Still busy, please try again.)
please help.

An

Also, please copy-paste that output in-between 3 backticks ``` at the beginning and end of the code/text. -

/etc/resolv.conf is normally managed by NetworkManager
You can add/change the DNS servers that are used from the NetworkManager GUI
You can do all the needed changes from there - instead of editing /etc/resolv.conf directly.
Just take care that you use no spaces - like you may have done (from what you wrote)
Do not do this:
8.8.8.8 , 8.8.4.4
but do this instead:
8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4
- Open your network Manager
- Go to tab IPv4
- Item Method
- Change:
-
automatic
to automatic (Only addresses)
-
- Enter your DNS server’s IP addresses (Remember: no spaces!)

As an alternative to the networkmanager GUI, DNS settings can be changed by creating the file /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/dns-servers.conf, like this:
[global-dns-domain-*]
servers=::1,8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4
(changes to /etc/resolv.conf are generally temporary as they get overwritten by networkmanager, as Nachlese says)
For more info, read this.

We cannot tell you what to do exactly as we’re not located in your country nor have your ISP.
You need to look up the required data and change that file yourself to revert back to what it was.

ok thanks of the help
‘resolveconf’ is part of DHCP; to set DNS, add this to /etc/dhcpcd.conf:
static domain_name_servers=8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
For more info, read this.

Wow thanks It worked!
I can access Internet right away after login.
I have a small doubt I wanted to check resolv.conf now and I’m getting
cat: /etc/resolv.conf: No such file or directory
Is this normal?
I can access Internet so my problem is solved 
Try
cat /etc/resolv.conf
I did but still getting the same.
[linux@linux-hp ~]$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
cat: /etc/resolv.conf: No such file or directory
Sorry, I misread, but I can’t reproduce. The reference in my previous post about DHCP goes into more detail though, I’d look there first.

I want to thank @Fabby , @Nachlese and @F2CPP for helping me.
After following @F2CPP solution I was able to access Internet right after login and without vpn.
There is some issue with resolv.conf being empty but I’m able to access Internet.
