Connection terminated error=“failed to dial to edge with quic: timeout: no recent network activity”, Connection terminated error=“context canceled”, Failed to serve tunnel connection error=“context canceled”, Retrying connection in up to 2s
What is the issue you’re encountering
I’m using a cloudflare tunnel to forward my webserver from my PC to my domain, but every time I start my tunnel, which is correctly configured and does technically work, it is very spotty and constantly spits out those errors at me (failed to dial to edge with quec: timeout: no recent network activity, etc). When trying to have multiple people connect to the web server, it sometimes just stops working altogether, and I have no idea why. It’s very slow and unreliable. I’m running on Fedora Linux and have the most recent version of cloud flared, a correct config file for the tunnel, and I know how to start it, but I haven’t been able to get these annoying errors to go away. I just want a stable connection, and It’s actually a very simple and lightweight server, so I don’t see why it isn’t stable.
What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?
Haven’t been able to resolve anything.
What are the steps to reproduce the issue?
Starting the tunnel using “cloudflared tunnel --config tunnel.yml run”, the same errors come every time
Hey, thanks for responding. Before I go through with your suggestions, I want to clarify a few things. Firstly, I am very new to cloudflare tunnels, so apologies if I seem clueless. Also, I encountered a different error when running my tunnel that I didn’t include in my original post:
In terms of using a different protocol, I tried running my tunnel with the --protocol http2 option included in the command. The output is provided at the bottom of this message. When I used Control+C to quit the tunnel, I noticed that it unregistered two connections, which means that it was able to establish them at some point, which didn’t happen with quic, but the connectivity is still very unstable.
It might also be worth noting that when I run the same Cloudflare Tunnel on Windows 10, it works without any of these issues. Even though I do see a few errors, the connectivity is much more reliable compared to the connection I see on Fedora Linux, which is starting to lead me to believe that the problem is with my system, not my ISP.
I’d appreciate any help with troubleshooting so we can get this working.
Here’s the output of the command with HTTP/2:
