Technitium dns - as resolver

Hello friends,
Im using yunnohost some months now and going fine.
I found great app called Technitium dns and tried it to config.
But it wont start, because on ports 53 is running dnsmasq.
Can you help me to use Technitium dns for dns resolution without dnsmasq and use it as public dns resolver?
Using this someone?
thanks

Hi!
I went into the same issue. I changed the port of Technitium DNS:
In Settings > General > DNS Server Local End Points, I entered “0.0.0.0:5354” and “[::]:5354”.

I made dnsmasq use Technitium as the resolver:
sudo nano /etc/dnsmasq.conf
Comment out the line
#resolv-file=/etc/resolv.dnsmasq.conf
Add the line
server=127.0.0.1#5354
Restart dnsmasq (sudo systemctl restart dnsmasq).

Now it seems to work (at least locally). I assume it’s not very optimized because dnsmasq is just acting as a middle man and could probably be removed. But I am a bit scared of putting dnsmasq out of the loop, I don’t know very well how it is used by the rest of the system.

For me, the requests from the outside are not working, but it’s probably due to the ISP.
