Hi people. I am running pihole under podman and its dedicated system account on my NAS. Now, from the NAS, I get a connection refused on ip.of.the.nas:53 but everywhere else in my network, pihole works perfectly. To run pihole as a rootless container, i made it listen on 1053 and I have a firewall redirection from 53 to 1053 for both udp and tcp. Any pointer to where (and how) I can debug this ?

Edit: Small precision about my current setup : ISP router (so I can’t really do anything on it) and NAS running opensuse leap

    Have you considered lowering the unprivileged port limit instead?

    sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start=53 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf

    Then remove the firewall rule and bind to port 53.
