Troubleshooting

Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown with dnsmasq

Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.dnsmasq
was not provided by any .service files

Debugging

Messages are sent to /var/log/messages

grep tun2socks-manager /var/log/messages

When troubleshooting, it helps to follow these messages in a separate window. For instance:

tail -f /var/log/messages

First, the tun interface is created with:

/usr/local/tun2socks-manager start

Then the routing rule are created with (replace with correct network interface as necessary):

/usr/local/tun2socks-manager update eth0 up
