Greets and Happy belated New Year! I just started having problems with a 4 node cluster running different machines - running latest Proxmox VE version - NEVER had console or terminal issue until just recently (only added a new switch to the network) - now when I open a console from the Proxmox GUI - or start a console with VNC or Spice - no matter whether it's a VM console or not - the console freezes up after an undetermined amount of time - usually within a minute or two - just stops working.

There doesn't seem to be and errors or logs showing something wrong!! Oddly enough, my setup was working fine for over a year without issue, but now it's become unreliable ?!?!? Tried both latest Firefox and Chrome to rule out browser issues . . .

I also tested on the same network a stand alone Promox node - and it works without issue (running htop or btop constantly in console) - when I do this with any node in my cluster - the console freezes / hangs - This was not happening in the past ?!?

Any hints would be welcome!

Turns out, after many tests - my main machine which I use to access Proxmox was in the wrong VLAN segment - so this issue only affected ONE machine and Proxmox seems fine - So my bad for jumping to conclusions something was wrong with the servers Thanks again and have a great day!
