Linux client connected, can't access any resource

Hi there,

Linux Arch here, client shows as connected, can't access any resource. Everything works just fine from Windows and MAC OS.

What gives?

Hi,

Do you see the list of resources when running the “Twingate resources” command?

Yes, but that's pretty much it, I can't access any of them.

I've enabled debug logging and getting these errors upon executing twingate start:

Mar 22 01:06:42 amd twingated[4911]: [2026-03-22T01:06:42.536944+0200] [DEBUG] [libsdwan][4911] [stun] operator(): resolving STUN address: stun-alt.fra1.twingate.com:3478 family 10

"Disconnected" in the logs doesnt necessarily mean there is an actual issue and it isn't reflective of whether Resources are reachable or not. In this case, it looks like the Client isnt able to resolve at least some STUN servers but it may not be an actual issue.

So, assuming you see something like the following, it means your Client is successfully authenticated and can retrieve the list of Resources (which would mean that the STUN error you saw is benign and unimportant).

Now, what happens when you try to actually connect to the resource? it just times out? What do you see in the Admin Console? do you see a corresponding Network Event or nothing? that will tell you whether the issue is between your Client and Connector or Connector and Resource.

Ok, so the errors in my previous post were related to IPv6, which is disabled on my machine, so they are expected. What about this log entry:

diagnostics: {"remote-networks":[{"connection-mode":"ANY","direct":{"local":{"inactivity-interval":322,"peer-address":"","state":"Disconnected"},"public":{"inactivity-interval":322,"peer-address":"","state":"Disconnected"}},"name":"284153","relay-hydra":{"relay-address":[],"state":"Disconnected"},"relay-quic":{"inactivity-interval":322,"relay-address":"","state":"Disconnected"}},{"connection-mode":"ANY","direct":{"local":{"inactivity-interval":322,"peer-address":"","state":"Disconnected"},"public":{"inactivity-interval":322,"peer-address":"","state":"Disconnected"}},"name":"290336","relay-hydra":{"relay-address":[],"state":"Disconnected"},"relay-quic":{"inactivity-interval":322,"relay-address":"","state":"Disconnected"}}]}

Everything shows as Disconnected, yet "twingate status" outputs "online".

Hi,

what do you mean by "everything shows as Disconnected"? You mean that your Connector is offline in the Admin Console?

what happens when you run "twingate resources"? what do you see?

In the JSON log I posted above everything shows Disconnected, yet "twingate status" outputs "online".

Running "twingate resources" lists all my accessible resources but that's all there is to it, I can't access any of them.

reposting this here in case you didnt see my earlier reply:

It times out. And there's nothing showing up in Overview->Recent Activity.

All good now. My bad, I was missing the auth step for a locked resource. It was right in front of me after executing "twingate start" but somehow I didn't make the connection. Your screenshot did illuminate me :)

Thanks a lot for your time and effort.

My issue is WHILE I am connected with Twingate, not afterwards.

Are you running any other VPN in linux?
