[SOLVED] dnscrypt-proxy (2.0.40) no longer starts

After upgrading dnscrypt-proxy and updating dnscrypt-proxy.toml, the program doesn't start (with sudo).

[FATAL] listen udp 127.0.0.1:53: bind: permission denied

systemd[1]: dnscrypt-proxy.socket: Socket service dnscrypt-proxy.service already active, refusing.
systemd[1]: Failed to listen on DNSCrypt-proxy socket.

Line in the config file:

listen_addresses = ['127.0.0.1:53']

SOLUTION is at https://github.com/DNSCrypt/dnscrypt-pr … Arch-Linux

First I stopped and disabled the service (systemctl stop dnscrypt-proxy.service; systemctl disable dnscrypt-proxy.service)

then changed the line to

listen_addresses = []

and finally run systemctl enable --now dnscrypt-proxy.socket
