Hi

Forge JIRA Tutorial: "Error: Failed to start tunnel, could not establish a connection."

Glad it’s working for you now @RogerGodfrey. Just a quote from our engineers: When you run forge tunnel we try to find an available port to connect to, but I don’t think this takes into account the user’s local network / firewall settings (e.g: if a port is free but blocked by the firewall) We’ll aim to have more useful error messages in the upcoming versions of the CLI so it’s easier to debug these errors As always don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or su…

You might be experiencing an intermittent network issue or you may have a firewall blocking the port.
Would you be able to test again on different networks to see if it isn’t a firewall issue.

i just started running into this error with forge tunnel this afternoon. it was working just fine earlier today, but now i’m getting the following:

{"__tunnel_error__":true,"name":"NgrokError","attributes":{}}
Error: Failed to start tunnel, could not establish a connection.

Error: Failed to start tunnel, could not establish a connection.

    at async runTunnel (/tunnel/node_modules/@forge/sandbox-tunnel/out/index.js:34:24)

with the verbose flag, i see that ngrok requires an account:

lvl=eror msg="terminating with error" obj=app err="authentication failed: Usage of ngrok requires a verified account and authtoken.\n\nSign up for an account: https://dashboard.ngrok.com/signup\nInstall your authtoken: https://dashboard.ngrok.com/get-started/your-authtoken\r\n\r\nERR_NGROK_4018\r\n"

i’ve tried re-authenticating with forge to see if that would help, but no dice. i then signed up for an ngrok account, installed the ngrok CLI tool, and configured my auth token on the CLI, but still hit the same error.

any thoughts?

Welcome to the Atlassian developer community @DerekBrooks,

This is a very recent problem with an initial solution posted over here:

NgrokError when using Forge Tunnel

Hi Team, Looks like ngrok stopped supporting anonymous users without announcing in changelog. The error is caused by this: ERR_NGROK_4018 | ngrok documentation. The workaround is: Sign up for an ngrok account: ngrok - Online in One Line Create a ngrok.yml file, sample: version: 2 log_level: debug region: us authtoken: <your-ngrok-authtoken> Run forge tunnel --ngrok-config <your-ngrok-config-path> https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/cli-reference/tunnel/#options I verified on…

I’m going to lock this thread to avoid splintering out into many threads about the same underlying issue but please feel free to join the other thread.
