In brew services list, Status shows none, but it's working. Do i need root also to run it ? without run it's not working

Sometimes it's even says error the status but still working

Occurs on MacOS Monterey 12.7.4

$ sudo brew services start dnscrypt-proxy
$ brew services list

Name              Status User File
dnscrypt-proxy    none   root

Expected:

Name              Status User File
dnscrypt-proxy    start   root

./dnscrypt-proxy suggests that you manually installed it, and are running it from the directory it was extracted to.

brew services is a command that refers to packages installed using Homebrew.

Do you have multiple conflicting installations?

To install the service from a local directory, the documentation says that the command are

./dnscrypt-proxy -service install
./dnscrypt-proxy -service start

Do you have multiple conflicting installations?

I installed it using homebrew only, not sure if they are conflicting, because i reinstall it by removing the first installed one then i brew install after.

Okay i'll try to installed it manually as you suggested.

It's working like a charm now, I'm installing manually. Thank you
