Cannot connect NextDNS on elementary OS 5.1.7 (Ubuntu-based)

Hello everyone!

I've been using NextDNS for a few days now, mainly on my Android phone and wow, scary, but thanks for giving us these tools.

The problem is on my pc. My OS is elementary 5.1.7 (Ubuntu-based) and I can't get it to work with either of the two methods on the wiki (curl and manual installation through apt).

The first time, with curl, it just crashed and I couldn't connect to the internet. Then, with apt, I connected to the Internet but no through NextDNS (obviously I did activate and run NextDNS).

Today I tried again, with the same result for apt, but with curl it worked partially: it uses DoH and detects NextDNS but it does not do it through my profile.

I followed this instructions from NextDNS knowledge base: https://help.nextdns.io/t/60htdyv?r=60htapc, but doesn't work (now setup-router=false). I guess is that the problem is on port 53, but what can I do to change the port?

I have not found any tutorial to install NextDNS-cli, but I have followed all the steps in the wiki. I don't know if anyone who has installed it on Ubuntu would be so kind to tellme the steps you have taken to compare.

Thanks in advance!

    You have something already running on port 53. Find it and disable it. It is most likely systemd-resolved.
