Google Cloud Shell does not start

I am trying to start the Google Cloud shell but it does not launch.It keeps on saying "Connecting: Establishing connection to your Google Cloud Shell..." but nothing happens. I am under a company's network which might be a reason. How should I debug this?

To resolve the issue: add the following in the address bar so it will open the shell in the safe mode:

&cloudshellsafemode=true

It will open the shell/editor window. Then click on the vertical three points (top-right) and select "restart". It will restart the shell.

Take care sometimes it is not necessary to make a clean installation of the gcloud shell.

Do you have several tabs with different google accounts? This happened to me when using several accounts for some reason.

You can try to access with a different browser, such as Mozilla Firefox in incognito mode to prevent unintended behavior from browser extensions. You can also try to access from another computer behind a different network. I would recommend, run Cloud Shell in safe mode by appending cloudshellsafemode=true to the URL [1].

EDIT (adding the comment below for clarity):

If you are using a corporate network is highly probable that your IP address in behind a proxy, in that case, you need to work with the company system administrator to enable access to the possible IPs that are assigned when a Cloud Shell is launched.

You can get the aforementioned IPs by running this:

google_ips=$(for LINE in `dig txt _cloud-netblocks.googleusercontent.com +short | tr " " "\n" | grep include | cut -f 2 -d :`; do dig txt $LINE +short; done | tr " " "\n" | grep ip4 | cut -f 2 -d : | sort -n | xargs | tr " " ",") ; echo IPs: ; echo $google_ips
