@wengkitttt, hello and thanks for the report! On macOS it's required for executables installed as services to be placed in the /Applications/... directory. What is the working directory in the issue?

wengkitttt commented

@EugeneOne1, I previously located the AdGuardDNSClient folder in the "Documents" directory. After moving it to the "Applications" folder and running sudo ./AdGuardDNSClient -s start -v, the status showed "running".

However, my DNS still didn't point to AdGuard DNS. I realized that I needed to change my DNS settings in Settings -> Network -> Wifi -> Details to point to 127.0.0.1 and ::1.

Now everything is working perfectly. Thanks for advising me to place the folder in "Applications".
