linux nextdns fails to start when ipv6 is disabled

 - CLI Version: 1.43.5
 - Platform: PopOS with IPv6 disabled

I installed nextdns using the bash script, but systemctl status nextdns.service shows it failed to start:

Error: proxy: udp: listen udp [::1]:53: socket: address family not supported by protocol

I could not find a way to change the nextdns config to not try to listen on ipv6 ports, is that even possible? And no, I do not want to just enable IPv6.

    In the NextDNS config, I’m guessing that the listen line says “localhost:53”, you can change that to your local network IP address. That change should stop it from trying the IPv6 address.
