port already in use

Upon clicking netbird logo, error briefly pops up (screenshot) and rediects me to browser with localhost:53000/?code=whatever, which doesn't work as that port is used by something else, so the entire login? process failes.

My device is not rooted, thought maybe rethinkdns have screwed things up, but upon stopping and disabling it, error still presists. Added pre-shared key, also nothing changed. There doesn't seem to be a setting for changing default port.

1. Did it happen to you the first time you started Netbird?

2. Can you try force-stopping/killing the Netbird client?

   • if it does work it means Netbird crashed uncleanly
     • can you use "share logs" and mail the file to support@netbird.io?
   • if it didn't help, try restarting your phone
   • if it still doesn't work it means some other application is listening on the port 53000,
     • if you manage to identify it, it would be great to know which one is it

1. The very first app launch, I've passed the login form and authorised the app with netbird account.
2. Closing netbird from settings, as well as clearing its cache and data results in my initial issue request.
3. After turning off netbird and rethinkdns, and restarting the phone: things work as expected.
4. Enabling netbird disables rethinkdns, and vice versa.
5. Reinstalling netbird while rethinkdns is on shows message: Something went wrong - You have VPN app that has Always On turned on [...] and immiedetely redirects, but still doesn't break as in my initial issue.

I don't think any other app would've messed it up, and after some fiddling around, I'm not sure how to recreate my issue 😓.
