Description

Hi, when trying to start the Zen proxy I get the following error. I have nu idea how to further elevate Zen's permissions. I'm an admin user running the app. Thanks for any ideas. Your app looks really promising, would love to be able to use it.

Version

0.2.2

Operating System

macOS 14.2

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open the app
  2. Press the start button
  3. Error occurs

Additional Context

I have Little Snitch installed but tested this also without LS active and the same error occurrs.

Hi, thanks for the report! Do you perhaps have the "Require an administrator password to access system-wide settings" switch turned on under the "Privacy & Security" -> "Advanced" menu in the settings? If so, you can temporarily launch the app with elevated permissions from your terminal using sudo /Applications/Zen.app/Contents/MacOS/Zen. I'll think of a way to implement a better solution within the app itself.

Hi @anfragment Thanks for your swift response. I tried it how you suggsted and even deactivated the setting in privacy but I still get the same error:

It gives the following in terminal:

Are you perhaps using an USB Ethernet adapter? Could you please send the output of running netstat -nr and scutil --nwi?

Ok, at first I thought this issue might be related to the one @tangowithfoxtrot raised in #13, but this looks different. I think the problem is that we're incorrectly assuming that network interfaces are always composed of a single word. If I'm correct, the app should be trying to set the proxy for an interface named something like "USB 10/100/1000 LAN" instead of just "USB".
Could you please run the networksetup -listnetworkserviceorder and share its output? This should provide us with the answer.

Any progress on this? I'm getting the same error using a USB 4/Thunderbolt 4 dock for ethernet.
