Trouble starting service for Dante proxy server
by DigiLynx from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5PHZ8)
Hi, I started to try and setup a Dante proxy server, Kubuntu as the OS. I've been using this guide (installed Dante from the repositories, not from .deb file): https://www.binarytides.com/setup-da...ver-on-ubuntu/
I'm at step 2, where I need to start the service. After running the start service command, I check the status with "service danted status" and the status is "failed" beside the "active" field.
Here is the whole output:
Code:danted.service - SOCKS (v4 and v5) proxy daemon (danted)
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/danted.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Tue 2021-09-14 21:00:31 ADT; 20min ago

man:danted.conf(5)

Just trying to figure out why the service is failing to start.
Thank you!
