Some confusion about adguard, VMs and port 53


Recommended Posts

Yesterday I was running Adguard home in host mode and a Windows VM without issues.

This morning Adguard had stopped and couldn't be restarted due to port 53 already being used by the VM.

 

Spent some time tinkering with using Adguard with br0 but it simply won't work without adding some routing options to my router.

I will set this up when I get a better router.

 

Just before giving up, I decided to try again with VM active and Adguard in host mode, and suddenly it works again.

Even tried restarting Adguard while the VM is running, and no issues with port 53 already being used.

Can someone tell me what's going on here?
