So, check this little idea that I have - I want to browse the internet without all sorts of unscrupulous actors collecting every little bit of metadata on me and my family they can possibly get their hands on.

    Why call it secondary then, that’s so counterintuitive lol

    I don’t think that’s even the official naming. It probably comes from what Windows 95 called it back in the day:

    On Linux, it’s just an additional “nameserver x.x.x.x” line in /etc/resolv.conf, with no indication of which is the “primary” or “secondary”.
