Changed DNS can't access SSH

I don’t get it. On my Mac I can change the DNS to Google’s on the network adapter settings, why can’t I just do the same on the Pi?

I guess you did not read carefully what I’m writing. You need to configure STATIC IP otherwise DNS server will be given by DHCP server. If you are on the network configuration menu, you can select STATIC and hit Copy current address to "Static". This will copy the current IP address as STATIC and you could adjust DNS server on your own.

I’m not sure what happened but after this the nzbget don’t start, the hostapd gives an error, seems like something network wise is broken, I just don’t know why/what. All I remember is what I did, but don’t know how to get it all back working again. Any tips?

I’m confused. Above I ask about the Hotspot configuration but you told you don’t use WiFi. Now hostapd (Hotspot app) is failing? Did you checked the service after a reboot?

journalctl -u hostapd
systemctl status hostapd

Check the service as well

journalctl -u nzbget
systemctl status nzbget

Ahah probably it’s failing because I have the wifi disabled. I don’t need wifi at all, its a connected server, I’ll probably remove that.

Thank you! It’s all back working now. Probably I’ve messed with the static IP by mistake and it stopped working.
