Cloudflared app not connecting

Hello, I’m having some issues with the Cloudflared app. It’s not connecting to my tunnel, this seems to be the main error in the logs.

ERR Failed to fetch features, default to disable error="lookup ``cfd-features.argotunnel.com`` on 172.17.0.10:53: read udp 172.16.2.101:55926->172.17.0.10:53: read: connection refused"

I have a tunnel running from a VM that is running in TrueNAS in this same machine, so I wouldn’t think it’s a networking issue. Not sure what’s going on, not really any config to mess up with that app. Full log below:

Any help appreciated,

Thanks

Looks like a DNS issue. Either the configured DNS Server can’t be reached or can’t resolve public IPs. Maybe this helps.
