Hello There.
I couldn't be bothered singing up to slack but I am pretty sure this is a bug.

I am having issues connecting to my Code Server via the --link function. After authorising on GitHub it redirects me to [vpsname].cdr.co with the error below.

Even though code-server --link is running within terminal. Which is interesting, I initially though it was a port block or something so I enabled 8080, 80 and 443, this did not help.

Is this a mistake on my side? I cannot seem to locate the issue.
Thanks

This isn't a bug AFAICT.

You can pass a string after --link to change the host name. Example:

code-server --link guacamole
# Starts code-server on https://guacamole-jsjoeio.cdr.co

No worries at all - you can always open up a Q&A Discussion and if it turns out to be a bug, then you can open a bug report.

I wonder if it's your VPS? Do you mind updating your description with repro steps? I am happy to try using a similar VPS locally to see if I can reproduce it

Hey.
Here are my specs to my VPS within the image below for further reference.

I tried your steps as well passing a string after --link which is included within the screen recording down below.
Hope this helps!
