Not good, @atomic ruin! The host you're trying to reach might be invalid or its firewall is blocking your connection attempts gracefully.
If you believe the host to be correct and have checked it with dig or https://dnschecker.org/, it means your DNS might be experiencing issues. You can try to ping a different domain, such as Google and if it resolves the issue is not with your DNS and rather with the host you are trying to reach.
ping google.com

Suppose you are having trouble connecting to a Panel or Node on the same network as your device, or Panel and Wings can't reach each other on the same network. In that case, you may have to edit your /etc/hosts file to point the domain to the local IP, as some routers don't handle NAT Loopback correctly, if at all. On Windows, this file is at C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts
192.168.1.24 panel.mydomain.com node1.mydomain.com
192.168.1.25 node2.mydomain.com
^^ hence the domain works because it’s tunnelled through a nameserver

okay after some further testing i have discovered that the port 27015 works fine and it is definitely not an issue with firewalls or port forwarding. other services worked fine on port 27015.
also, the tf2 server wont seem to work on any other port that i know works. so it must be an issue with the tf2 server
not sure what the issue could be though
