Can't seem to port forward port 53
Hi there everyone, this might be the wrong question for this server, but I'm struggling to forward port 53 for my DNS server.
I've set up port 53 on both "Virtual Servers" and "Port Triggering" in my tp-link router.
I've ran some tests on the DNS server and it works perfectly fine.
Could this be my ISP blocking port 53?

its most likely your isp blocking it and they are doing it for a good reason
what problem are you trying to solve? there is probably a better way
I need to host a custom DNS server. I can't use a VPS right now.
I'm trying to run a DDNS service, one where you can choose a subdomain and that A record gets altered automatically. I don't know how to do this without my own DNS server. I thought of maybe using cloudflare and their API to add/change records, but isn't there a limit on the max dns records?
