Hello I just installed https-dns-proxy and it's crashing giving me this error in the logs
I even changed the port from it's default 5053 but it's still happening
[Jun 22, 2026, 12:38:28 AM GMT+5] daemon.info: https-dns-proxy[13922]: [F] 1782070708.678855 dns_server.c:33 Error binding on 127.0.0.1:5354 UDP: Address in use (98)
[Jun 22, 2026, 12:38:33 AM GMT+5] daemon.info: https-dns-proxy[14092]: [F] 1782070713.741536 dns_server.c:33 Error binding on 127.0.0.1:5354 UDP: Address in use (98)
It would help if you share the /etc/config/https-dns-proxy file.
Also share:
netstat -nlup | grep -E ":5354 |127\.0\.0\.1:”
I changed it back to default port to see what would happen it started running again.. I was sure before posting that I tried it multiple times but now it just suddenly worked
anyways
