Network automatic reset on boot on raspberry pi 4

Question

I have 2 Raspberries. First, one 3B, which, I used for a while, everything works well. Now when I'm started using the 4B also, I encountered an issue. My 4B, doesn't resolve nameservers.

Example: ping: google.ro: Temporary failure in name resolution

After this, I edited /etc/resolv.conf with DNS from Google & Cloudflare. When a system restart is issued, the nameservers disappears.

Also, I compared the 3B IP routes with 4B:

ip route 3B:

default via 10.10.10.1 dev eth0 proto dhcp src 10.10.10.4 metric 202 10.0.0.0/8 dev eth0 proto dhcp scope link src 10.10.10.4 metric 202 10.8.0.0/24 dev tun0 proto kernel scope link src 10.8.0.1

ip route 4B:

default via 10.10.10.1 dev eth0 10.0.0.0/8 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 10.10.10.8

ifconfig 3B:

Also, I saw, my wlan0 interface is missing from ifconfig on 4B.

There are important differences between the network setup of the RPi 3B and the RPi 4B. Seems you are using an additional VPN connection on the RPi 3B so it doesn't make sense to compare both setups. You also don't tell us how do you configure the network interfaces of the RPi 4B. Do you use a static ip address? I guess you use default dhcpcd because it overwrites your manual settings in /etc/resolv.conf. You should find out why the dhcp server given in /etc/resolv.conf by DHCP does not work. As you see, changing settings in resolv.conf does not help because they will be overwritten. You can define static dns server entries in /etc/dhcpcd.conf but again, I don't know what interface configuration do you use.
