when i change the dns server port 54 where adguard home is installed on. and when i look on the ad guard home dashboard and when refesh it it says on 0 all the time.
DNS port is 53, did you tell your clients the port had changed ?
how do i do that
You can't, that's the whole point, DNS port is 53, period.
I'd you want to replace dnsmasq with Adguard, reassign dnsmasq to 54, and assign Adguard to 53.
oh ok how do i changed than
uci set dhcp.@dnsmasq[0].port="54"
uci commit dhcp
Is probably enough.
ok i have remove adguard and reinstall it but when i go to the setup the wized the port 3000 wont load or work
That you didn't have to do, now it's probably trying to attach itself to port 54, but it's occupied by dnsmasq, so it shuts down.
ok have ran that command and it says in the adguard home dashboard 0 still
Stop dnsmasq.
Start Adguard.
Configure it, to use port 53 instead 54.
ok i have done that now and it all works now thanks
Remember to start dnsmasq back up again, even if it isn't the DNS any more, it's still the acting DHCP.
If you leave it off, your network will die when the IP leases expire.
how do i turn on
How did you stop it?
Well, that's ADG not dnsmasq.
If
/etc/init.d/dnsmasq status
says anything other then 'running',
restart it by
/etc/init.d/dnsmasq start
