Release 24.19 of FreedomBox brings major changes to the how domain names 
are resolved. It switches from using resolvconf for managing DNS server 
configuration to using systemd-resolved. This improves privacy and 
security through DNS-over-TLS and DNSSEC. However, there is also a 
privacy setting you might want to turn off.

Please see the manual page for Names app for details:

We don't expect any problems as we have tested the switch with many 
scenarios including fresh/old installations, network manager, 'shared' 
networks, Wireguard, OpenVPN, bind name server, etc. If something does 
not work as expected, please report it and thank you for your patience 
during this transition.
