solution for static dns

[brazen]

i have followed some tutorials already posted, which referenced whonix. i also followed a ytube video called How to set Static IP Kali Linux.

i cannot get dns to stay at 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4

what do I need to do? I have kali installed to internal hd of mbp.

please advise.

edit~ i am trying to accomplish faster internet speeds

Your DHCP client usually uses your default gateway as your DNS nameserver (you can check this in /etc/resolv.conf). You can add the following lines to /etc/network/interfaces to ensure static DNS:

dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
