Hang when trying to connect to iex console via `fly ssh console`

There’s a lot more information on this topic as well: flyctl ssh console: Waiting for host... and nothing happens - #31 by nickolay.loshkarev

The first debugging steps are:

  • Are you on a corporate network or a VPN? Your corporate network provider may be blocking WireGuard connectivity; your VPN almost definitely is. Have you tried connecting with VPNs disabled?
  • Do you have a peer set up to connect to? You can check with with fly wg list to see your list of peers.
  • Are your instances currently accessible to you? If you follow the steps outlined in Private Networking are you able to get a successful connection into the VPN using your favourite WireGuard client?
  • Do you see a valid instance address when you do dig aaaa <app>.internal @fdaa:<xxx> (where @fdaa:xxx is your DNS server address from your wireguard.conf )
