Same here. I use VS Code v1.102.1 with the latest Codex extension on a remote server (connected by tunneling).

Same issue. Although I'm doing it locally - no remote host. MacOS/Safari. Stopped my local apache so it doesn't interfere - same thing.

@orioninthesky98, can you provide additional details? For example, are you using a VPN or network proxy? Are you using this within a VM or docker container? When do you see this screen — what steps are needed to repro it? What platform are you on? Which version of the codex CLI or extension are you using?
