I have written a service as it was given in this question but when I run the service I get only error in status.

service:

GNU nano 6.2 /etc/systemd/system/sshuttle.service
[Unit] Description=sshuttle tunnel

[Service]
Restart=always
User=user
Group=user
ExecStart=/usr/bin/sshuttle -vr my-ip 0/0 -x my-ip/32 --ssh-cmd 'ssh -i ~/server.pem'

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

error I get in status:

× sshuttle.service - sshuttle tunnel
     Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/sshuttle.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled)

There is some problem in your config like the ~ in --ssh-cmd option.

First here is your updated ExecStart ExecStart=/usr/bin/sshuttle -vr my-ip 0/0 -x my-ip/32 --ssh-cmd 'ssh -i /home/user/server.pem' then reload your service sudo systemctl daemon-reload then we enable and start the service

sudo systemctl enable sshuttle.service
sudo systemctl start sshuttle.service

edit:

It might be a problem with the user, be sure to use the correct one in the file below:

[Unit]
Description=sshuttle tunnel

[Service]
Restart=always
User=<your_username>
Group=<your_groupname>
ExecStart=/usr/bin/sshuttle -vr ssh-user@ssh-ip 0/0 -x ssh-ip/32 --ssh-cmd 'ssh -i /home/<your_username>/server.pem'

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

I found the solution thanks to Saxtheowl

this is my final config and its working fine:

[Unit]
Description=sshuttle tunnel

[Service]
Restart=always
ExecStart=/bin/bash -c "/usr/bin/sshuttle --dns -vr ssh-user@ssh-ip 0/0 -x ssh-ip/32 --ssh-cmd '/usr/bin/ssh -i /home/ubuntu-user/server.pem -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no'"

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
