AdGuard Home version

v0.107.71

Action

AdGuardHome’s self-update check fails, and updating the block lists also fails. Checking the backend logs shows that AdGuardHome is attempting to resolve via [::1]:5353 instead of the system-defined DNS servers. This issue occurs when AdGuardHome tries to handle services related to itself, while AdGuardHome continues to use the DNS server configuration in its AdGuardHome.yaml when resolving user requests. I am certain that the system DNS is not [::1]:5353, nor is it using services such as systemd-resolved, and other services are working normally.

Expected result

AdGuardHome should respect and use the system DNS instead of trying to use [::1]:5353 for resolution.

Actual result

AdGuardHome actually always tries to use [::1]:5353 for resolution.
