Failed to start nameserver on port 53

I was able to succresfully install evilginx on my parrotsec, but each time i start the evilginx i get the below error: “Failed to start nameserver on port 53” and i still cant find on service listning to that port.

the port is probably already taken by another service

find it and stop it, then retry

thats the problem, i cant find it

what command are you using to see whats using that port?

use this command to spot the process:

sudo netstat -ptnl | grep 53

its not returning anything

Tcp or udp? Try

netstat -a

sorry

netstat -putnl

give us the output

do you have a proxy set up on chrome? it looks like its going to localhost/loopback, there should be a setting within chrome (i advise firefox instead and its better easier and safer but not necessarily supported browserapp wise (ie unifi device discovery is only on chrome)) to open a task manager and kill those apps and go into settings and set them to also kill on chrome exit

try

sudo kill pid 1649

then try what you wanted to configure

Thanks, guys for your assistance, its now working :grinning:
