Hello Marco, Thanks for the reply. Yes, I had configured openvpn to use UDP port 1194 and was trying to get it working, with port 1194 enabled through the firewall. Then I re-booted and everything stopped, with dnsmasq complaining that port 53 was already taken so would not start, until I removed openvpn. I did not find any other reason why there was a problem, and I would like to try again with openvpn if I can still get dnsmasq to run.
