Starting prob server on port 12345 --> could not bind socket about textcleanser HOT 4 OPEN

There could be some reasons for this:

• In the probe settings you have selected an outgoing IP (and with that a network interface) that can not reach the desired target system. The IP stack on the probe system tries to open an outgoing port but the selected network interface can't provide it.
• Or the port you are trying to connect with is already in use.
  You can try tackling this problem by running:
  netstat -ntlp | grep LISTEN
  on your ubuntu system. and see if the port is in use or not.
  Hope this helps 😄 😸

Oh my pleasure. You can try these too.

• Check if a port is being used by a process or not
  $ netstat -tulnp | grep <port no>
• you can also use kill or pkill to kill the process and free the specified port.
  Thank you. Hope that i helped.
