What is the output of sudo service dnsmasq status?
Run the full command (you missed the status at the end)
In /etc/dnsmasq.d/01-pihole.conf
You can also edit /etc/resolv.conf to temporarily upload the debug log.
However, I think you are probably seeing this issue:
I upgraded to dnsmasq 2.76 like that thread said but it didn't do anything. I uploaded the debug log. The token is - g2153mpkkb
This did not yield any results
What is the output of pihole -g?
Make a new debug token and share the new output of pihole -up.

EDIT: It's working now but I have no idea why. I did a clean install before updating to dnsmasq 2.76 and then messed with some network settings. Thanks for your help though
EDIT: It doesn't work again
Alright I don't what I did but I broke it again. dnsmasq won't start and I have no idea why.
If I try: sudo restartdns
I get - [✗] Job for dnsmasq.service failed. See 'systemctl status dnsmasq.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.
Running that first command gives me-
dnsmasq.service - dnsmasq - A lightweight DHCP and caching DNS server

The journalctl -xn command gives me a "No journal files were found"
Here's my debug token - xds0x8k68x
What is the output of sudo service dnsmasq status (is there more text at the bottom than the systemctl output?)
Are you running it in a raspberry pi?
What is the output of sudo service dnsmasq status -l
Remove /etc/dnsmasq.d/01-pihole.conf.save
it fixed it! thanks a lot! do you know why this was causing the issue?
