Ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh man, I have spent the last 45 minutes trying to troubleshoot my on-prem server connection issue.  I wake my laptop up to check my email and I am not able to connect to any of the services I have running on my server.  I first thought it was an issue with the network connection on the laptop, but I am able to access my email and YouTube and other websites are coming up for me (ADGuard off the hook this time, lol).  So, I reboot the server and go to check again and still unable to connect to any service I have running on the server, weird!  So, I rebooted the server again and this time I watch it come up from the console and I see no error messages on it starting up.  I then verify the ip address and make sure all my docker instances are up and running and they were all showing okay so "wt*".  so, I think maybe it is with the laptop so I reboot it and still not able to access the server but wait I get a prompt to authenticate with twingate on the laptop and then to myself that can't be it.  I am locally connected to my network even if my twingate connection wasn't validated It would not keep me from connecting to the server, right!  Well, I was proven wrong because as soon as I authenticated my twingate connection boom, my connection to the server was restored.  I can't make this stuff up, lol!  Well, I have learned something new this evening.  Remember that I only have a 30 day token on my twingate validation and it does affect my connection to my server.  Lesson learned.

Happy Sunday 😀
