Arch • Intermitent issues with pi-hole

Hi all,

I’m running Pi-hole on a Raspberry Pi 5 with Arch Linux ARM. Everything works fine when I use the kernel version 6.12.42-1-rpi.

However, if I update the kernel to a newer version (for example 6.12.43 or 6.12.44), Pi-hole starts failing and I get errors like this:

2025-09-02 08:37:48.314 WARNING Connection error (208.67.220.220#53): failed to send UDP request (Permission Denied)

Downgrading the kernel to version 6.12.42 fixes the problem.

Any idea?
