I am not familiar with the term "approx.service".  

I have not touched the approx server (running Debian 9) for a couple
of years or more.  It "just runs".  I have used the server without
change to the configuration files for netinstalls since Debian 8 or 9,
and the latest was to install Debian 12.

In the mirror selection of netinstall, I only have to type in the host
ip address and port:  "192.168.1.40:9999".
