Pi-hole on YunoHost

Issue:
Hi, i installed yunohost on my old pc and added pi-hole.
On this machine, the service looks like working as expected.

When i do nslookup on my main PC in the same network (yes, 192.168.178.34 is correct), it is not working:

When i telnet 192.168.178.34 53, it looks like something is happening - terminal windows gets blank until i press any key. I am a bit a trial and error guy, but this tells me that there actually is something listening (pi-hole FTL service on port 53 i guess). Same thing (blank terminal window) happens when i do that on 192.168.178.1 (my Fritz!Box)

And: in settings menu it is telling me that FTL service is offline:

But when i do ps aux | grep FTL, i see the service is running. I also tried sudo service... to start, stop and restart it.

What am i doing wrong?

System:
YunoHost 11.1.22 (latest)
Debian 11.2
Intel Xeon W3690
Pi-hole 5.14.2~ynh1 (latest available at yunohost)

After Installation:
added google servers for upstream, nothing else

YunoHost does not appear on the list of Pi-hole's supported operating systems.

In addition, it seems that YunoHost is shipping its own Pi-hole package (5.14.2~ynh1) at
https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/pihole_ynh

The Pi-hole team did not create nor endorse that package.

You should file your request for support with YunoHost, as mentioned on that site:

Thank you for your response. After some digging arround i created a file /etc/dnsmasq.d/vpn with content listen-address=10.10.10.0, after doing this and restarting dnsmasq, pihole works.
It's still saying that the service is offline, but it's blocking ad servers as expected.

Just if someone else needs this information.

Commonly, that wouldn't be required for a vanilla Pi-hole configuration - in fact, it may interfere with Pi-hole's normal operation.

If this somehow is a required step for the YunoHost package, it should be brought to the attention of the YunoHost maintainers.
