[7.0.1] GUI and server only accessible from same subnet

EDIT: STOP READING! All this below on account of the tailscale client on my workstation messing up. It seemed to be connected from the client side but not really, at least not 'connected' state on my tailnet management page. So something's wrong there. Disconnecting it solved the issue below. Sorry, don't know how to delete a post, if a mod can please...;-)

And apologies to the CONNECT pluging ofc....

I have two unraid boxes, both on  a local subnet 192.168.5.x. Up and until this morning I could reach both from my workstation on another subnet 192.168.1.x.

Pretty much out of the blue the plex container on one of the boxes stopped working. That alerted me to the situation that I now can't access the GUI or even ping that one machine from my workstation. From another pc and a vm on the 192.168.5.x subnet everything is as should be, no problem.

The other machine and containers are accessible from my workstation as usual.

I think the event that triggered this situation might be the updating of plugins I did just before the plex container stopped being accessible from my workstation. One of those plugins was the Unraid CONNECT plugin (gpu statistics and NVIDIA driver were the others if I recall correctly). The other machine didn't have this plugin installed so it wasn't updated ofc.

I don't even use the CONNECT plugin afaik, not sure why I installed it but probably just curious;-)

So not sure there is a relationship but it's the only thing I can think of so far.

Does this make any sense to people more in the knowing what the CONNECT plugin does and how it works?

 Any other suggestions welcome too ofc. Weirdest thing for me is I can't even ping the NIC in that one machine from another (local) subnet, but no problem from the subnet the machine is on. (The other machine still working as usual can be pinged from both local subnets, so it's not in my router).

Regards,

Richard

EDIT I removed the CONNECT plugin and restarted the machine, but the issue persisted. Can't reach GUI or ping from outside the local subnet the machine is on.
