@musaulker may I ask what Ubuntu version you're using?

and Proxyman only distributes with x86_64 arch, so it can't run on your Ubuntu Virtual machine on Mac (needs to be distributed as arm64)

It will run if you use Ubuntu VM on Windows PC

Oh, thank you for reminding me the missing pieces.

Its Ubuntu 22.04 x86_64 arch.
I am running it on Windows 11 x64 host machine.
