Trouble starting service for Dante proxy server
 
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

I'm at the same time learning my way around Linux in general, so apologies if the solution is really simple.

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

Thank you!

Thanks. I guess didn't scroll far enough on terminal, and I didn't really re-read it when I output to .txt file. I figured it was pretty simple... thank you again.
