I'm trying to change my resolver name on Linux Mint. I run this Sudo cmd.. sudo dnscrypt-proxy --ephemeral-keys --resolver-name=cisco, but I get an error. [INFO] - [cisco] does not support DNS Security Extensions [INFO] - [cisco] does not support Namecoin domains [WARNING] - [cisco] logs your activity - a different provider might be better a choice if privacy is a concern [NOTICE] Starting dnscrypt-proxy 1.6.0 [INFO] Ephemeral keys enabled - generating a new seed [INFO] Done [ERROR] Unable to bind (UDP) [Address already in use Thanks
Do you have a DNS service already running? Something holding port 53? Check with netstat -tulpan. Mrk
2 of those warnings come up through google. The first link seems to be pertinent with some fixit possibilities the second is a huge long discussion where the log in the first post of the link has all those messages but probably isn't useful. https://github.com/jedisct1/dnscrypt-proxy/issues/198 https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=50914&p=85
Try changing the resolver name in /etc/default/dnscrypt-proxy You can use nano editor for editing files in terminal. Type: $ sudo nano /etc/default/dnscrypt-proxy Don't forget to restart the service after that. I don't know how to restart a service in Mint. Try this $ sudo service dnscrypt-proxy restart. If that doesn't work just restart the computer.
Isn't Mint 17 using systemd? If so, "service" should no longer work. Instead, using "systemctl restart NetworkManager" should be the way to go.
Apparently, Mint supports both upstart and systemd. http://news.softpedia.com/news/Linu...md-and-Upstart-Users-Will-Choose-480758.shtml
