Remote Tunnel stuck at creating VSCode server

I cannot create a new Remote Tunnel on my remote machine.

It previously worked fine but after a reboot, it is now stuck at creating a new code server step.

code tunnel --log trace --cli-data-dir . --verbose

The log in the working directory shows nothing. Please help!

Microsoft failed to mention a tiny detail about VSCode Tunnels which is bringing a myriad of weird problems to the users of this superb VSCode feature:

  1. For VSCode Tunnels to run/connect properly on most Linux users, the Server VScode MUST run as root.
  2. For VSCode Tunnels to run/connect properly on most Windows users, the Server VScode MUST Run As Administrator.

Works flawlessly after that.

Saved me a great ton of troubleshooting all my firewalls (local n remote), UDP port restrictions, OS Settings, "Hidden" VSCode Settings, etc... which I did quite extensively before stumbling upon this universal conclusion.

ALSO<< Every time VScode is relaunched or stays on a long while, it sort of logs out of GitHub. I don't know why, but always be checking the account icon at the bottom left to see if there is a badge. If there is and if on hover it pops "Accounts - Sign in to Sync Settings", click on the icon then click "Sign in to sync settings". They need to fix this!
