17.7 Legacy Series / Re: dnsmasq: cannot resolve external hosts

Why? The DNS servers come from my ISP and that's why I had enabled the setting "Allow DNS server list to be overridden by DHCP/PPP on WAN " in System: Settings: General.
In 16.7 and 17.1 this worked perfectly. Since I haven't changed anything during the upgrade from 17.1 to 17.7 I guess something changed in 17.7.
Although I use my own DNS servers inside the LAN and not dnsmasq I should also ask (just in case), I assume that dnsmasq is not listening on the WAN interface as well is it?
Indeed it is not listening on the WAN interface:
Services: Dnsmasq DNS: Settings: Interfaces: DMZ, LAN, Localhost, OpenVPN
