Coredns process consuming 50% cpu constantly

hello
what exactly is that process and how it can be fixed/ or set-up? I can see on OS in top it consumes constantly 30-50% cpu.

@phier

coredns
→ coredns -conf/corefile

seems that fix worked.

Very high CPU usage for CoreDNS

Turns out it was the fallback configuration for coreDNS that had kicked in and it constantly tried to connect to Cloudflare DNS which is prevented by my firewall. Disabling the fallback feature fixed this issue. Command for disabling it is: ha dns options --fallback=false Also a big thank you to the redditor /u/tallr0b which pointed me to this thread Improve Privacy, Stop using hardcoded DNS which gave me the solution.
