pihole-FTL service running but not functioning

When I run 'sudo pihole-FTL -f' it all appears to function as expected, DNS lookups, access to web GUI (and incremented stats).

Running on Ubuntu 18.04, and previously was functioning as expected. Nothing else using port 53.

Thanks.

Hi @jfb thanks for the response. Please hold off for a while, as I may have been a little premature in what appeared to have been happening. I'll perform some further testing.
