Network Connections missing in 18.04 - so how do I setup OpenDNS

This OpenDNS guide explains how to setup OpenDNS on older versions of Ubuntu. I'm using 18.04 Bionic Beaver and it appears the Network Connections GUI is no longer available. So I can't even accomplish step 1.
So how do I setup OpenDNS on 18.04, what are the proper steps mimicking this guide? I assume command line could do it but that's far beyond me at this stage.
Also it appears OpenDNS offers two servers 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220. Most guides only refer to 208.67.222.222 but I'd like to use both in case one goes down.

You could look under network manager / edit connections and add additional DNS servers under the IPV4 /IPV6 tabs. I specified these DNS servers in my router though, not on an individual PC.

@Organic Marble How do I open Network Manager on 18.04? I think it's been deprecated. If Inetwork-managerfrom the command line it sayscommand not found. If Isudo apt-get install network-managerit shows it already installed. If ISuper-Keythen start typingnetwork managernothing comes up.

Unfortunately I use LXDE desktop and it's a GUI in the lower right corner of the page. I know nothing about Gnome desktop.

There's a commandnmclithat is the command line interface to network manager but I'm not very familiar with it. I just tried it with no options and it did show some DNS information.

The NetworkManager is called up by selecting "Wired Connections" or "Wi-fi Connections" from the menu in the upper-right corner or your top panel, or by opening the Settings panel, and selecting Wi-Fi or Network.
