Hi.
I'm new to linux - so be gentle or provide instructions please.
I want to ask a question about dnsmasq - used with network-manager.
I've noticed the dnsmasq started using a high port "UDP *:51560". I've beed using this instalation for about a month and before only port 53 was used. It occured after a night of torrent-downloading. Whats going on, why is this happening? the port never changes and doesn't go away. I can't find any configuration files for dnsmasq - it seems there aren't any. Everything should be on its default settings.
dnsmasq 1919 nobody 4u IPv4 26562 0t0 UDP nexxus:53
dnsmasq 1919 nobody 5u IPv4 26563 0t0 TCP nexxus:53 (LISTEN)
dnsmasq 1919 nobody 11u IPv4 21045 0t0 UDP *:51560
Can anyone explain or help me resolve this issue?
Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
Thank you.
