I didn't set it explicitly, it's what got configured automatically with
`sysrc ifconfig_DEFAULT=3DSYNCDHCP`. I'm unsure whether the host is =
running
a DNS service, and to be honest I don't know how to tell. `resolvectl`
on the host says the current DNS server is 8.8.8.8. It also lists =
1.1.1.1
as an available server, as well as 4.4.4.4 as a fallback.

I actually did that exactly a while back at the suggestion of someone on
this mailing list, and I posted the results to the thread:
