Should port 5053 be allowed when using cloudflared as upstream for Pi-hole?

Hello!!
If I enable ufw firewall on my server, should I allow incoming connections to port 5053?

Best regards!! :grinning_face:

If cloudflared is installed on the same machine as Pi-hole, communications between Pi-hole and cloudflared on 127.0.0.1#5053 as Pi-hole's only upstream would be strictly local.

As such, they shouldn't be affected by firewall rules, unless those would filter loopback traffic as well.

Hello!! :grinning:
Yes, that's how I want to do: Cloudfared will be installed on the same VM as Pi-hole, so I understand that I don't have to do anything.

All clear, I'm going to try now... :grinning:

1000000 thanks and very best regards!! :clap: :clap:
