WSL2 Ubuntu 22.04 (Network mode: Mirroring mode) "dnsmasq failed to bind DHCP server socket: Address already in use" about multipass HOT 3 OPEN

Hi @TrestenPool, as you've noticed, we do need port 53 for dnsmasq. This is the standard port for DNS.

Any port we chose could potentially conflict with something else in the system. We could allow configuring, but I'd rather avoid complicating the configuration with backend-specific settings. We could perhaps randomize the port, but there are very few cases of people reporting collisions. And we don't actually support WSL specifically, so this is pretty much out of scope.

I am curious, why are you trying to run Multipass on WSL, rather than directly on Windows?

from multipass.

+1, I have the same issue, in my case need the dnsmasq because the native wsl2 not resolv the dns equal that the windows side with vpn

from multipass.
