Useful Lists
I'd guess that you have another DNS server on your network which is trying to get the list of root name servers (what the . means) via AdGuard.
I'd guess that there are so many queries because something is going wrong with it's attempt to get the root name servers from AdGuard so it's doing it over and over (because it can't function without them).
I've never had much joy with AdGuard via docker. There was usually some error or glitch I couldn't get fixed.
I've always ended up installing it directly. It still works happily with wireguard and all the others that I do have installed via docker.
. Is the root of all DNS. These are known as the root DNS servers and they point to top level domains such as .com .net etc. including the newer TLDs.
Ok, so I managed to figure it out, as soon as I took down wireguard the constant query stopped.
So now I move wireguard to one of other pi's and everything is working as it should.
Thanks for all the help!
