Issue:
After going to Settings → Connections → Control This Mac, the page immediately jumps back.
Previously, when clicking “Allow,” it displayed “Unable to enable remote control, please try again.”

Already tried:

  1. Confirmed that the Mac and phone are using the same email address and workspace
  2. Logged out and back into the accounts on both devices
  3. Switched the VPN to Global Proxy
  4. Restarted the Mac
  5. Completely uninstalled and reinstalled Codex
  6. Still can reproduce consistently

I fixed the issue where enabling Codex Remote Control immediately showed “Failed to update remote-control status” and switched itself off.

There were two causes:

  1. The Codex background process failed to connect to wss://chatgpt.com/backend-api/wham/remote/control/server with TLS handshake EOF. I use Clash through Proxifier (127.0.0.1:7897), but Proxifier was resolving DNS locally. Disabling automatic DNS detection and enabling “Resolve hostnames through proxy,” followed by restarting Clash, Proxifier, and Codex, fixed the relay connection.
  1. Codex incorrectly discovered my GitHub SSH configuration as a remote development host. Changing:
Host github.com

to:

Host github.*

preserved GitHub SSH access while preventing Codex from treating it as a concrete SSH host.

After restarting Codex again, Remote Control enabled successfully.
