## Configure NetworkManager
If you want the router itself to also send DNS requests through dnsmasq, you need to configure NetworkManager to use dnsmasq. Edit the file `/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf`, and under the header `[main]` add the line:
```
dns=dnsmasq
```
then restart NetworkManager to make the changes take effect:
```
systemctl restart NetworkManager
```
