dns: remove default 8.8.8.8 DNS server

Now that DNS servers are pulled in from the DHCP config,
this is unnecessary. Moreover, it's harmful: getaddrinfo will
attempt to reach 8.8.8.8 before DHCP has completed. This
can result in the DNS client keeping a UDP endpoint with
a bad source IP address open for many seconds, blocking a
real connection.

Without 8.8.8.8, getaddrinfo immediately fails before
DHCP because there are no known DNS servers. It does not
try to make a connection until the real local IP is setup.

Netstack

Netstack is a network stack written in Go.

Getting started

Try it out on Linux by installing the tun_tcp_echo demo:

go install github.com/google/netstack/tcpip/sample/tun_tcp_echo

Create a TUN device with:

[sudo] ip tuntap add user <username> mode tun <device-name>
[sudo] ip link set <device-name> up
[sudo] ip addr add <ipv4-address>/<mask-length> dev <device-name>

Then run with:

tun_tcp_echo <device-name> <ipv4-address> <port>
