Reindeer Games with port 53

Hello All,
The FTL is barking about port 53 already in use. What I'm wanting to do is forward port 5353 to nextdns via localhost.

What is running on port 53? FTL binds to that port, and if the port is not open that causes problems.

I'm wanting to forward upstream dns requests to port 5353 so that pi-hole won't be blocked. Unfortunate, nextdns config file which I set to port 5353 aren't sticking.

Send client requests to Pi-hole on port 53. Then, set the Pi-hole upstream DNS to your desired service on whatever port you assign.
