If you are Experiencing issues with a Pi-hole install that has non-standard elements (e.g you are using nginx instead of lighttpd, or there is some other aspect of your install that is customised) - please use the Community Help category.
Proxmox Container based on Debian 10,
AMD64 architecture,
512MB RAM,
1024MB SWAP,
8GiB root disk,
No firewall configured internally,
Expected Behaviour:
Install went smoothly, the web UI and the command line interface seem to be working correctly, I am able to use the container as a DNS server, with a static IP, as I previously have.
Actual Behaviour:
_ Install went smoothly, the web UI and the command line interface seem to be working correctly, but I am unable to use the container as a DNS server, despite it having a static IP and no firewalled ports. Ports 22, 53, & 80 are open and not filtered._

Check your firewall for blocks on outgoing port 53 traffic to the internet.
OK,
so I can get addresses if I ask my router(s) for them, but the second I try to request a lookup from anyone else (Google, Cloudflare, etc.) it just chugs until it times out.
Do you have any thoughts on what might be going on here?
I can't see anything in my OpenWRT firewall that would be causing this.
My OpenWRT router is hooked into a Centurylink provided router, could they be blocking DNS requests?
How would I even go about figuring out where the breakdown is?
