Hey, thanks for reporting this. That’s quite odd. Would you mind helping me out with a little bit of debugging to find the issue? (I don’t have access to a mac)

If you run bandwhich with the -n flag like this sudo bandwhich -n does it work? Do you see traffic? (This turns off the reverse DNS resolution, which is what’s failing here).

Same error here on Arch Linux, Could not initialize the DNS resolver, using systemd-resolved and googles DNS, 8.8.8.8, the -n flag works tho.

New version released. Starting from version 0.20.0, you can now use the --dns-server flag eg. bandwhich -d 1.1.1.1 to manually specify a DNS server as a workaround for this issue.
