claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [BUG] Cowork with VPN not working after updating today [2 comments, 3 participants]

"Claude Code process exited with code 1". The underlying cause in the VM log is [vm-stderr] Error: Failed to create bridge sockets after 5 attempts [Process] Exited, code=1, signal=null, duration=1717ms, oom=false

TL;DR

The issue can likely be resolved by investigating and addressing the "Failed to create bridge sockets" error in the VM log, which may be related to VPN or network configuration.

Guidance

• Investigate the VPN configuration and its potential impact on bridge socket creation, as the error occurs after switching to Cowork and starting a new task.
• Check the Windows and VPN settings to ensure they are not blocking the creation of bridge sockets, which might be necessary for Claude Code to function properly.
• Consider testing Claude Code without the VPN to isolate if the issue is VPN-related.
• Review the Anthropic API documentation and Claude Code version 1.3036.0 release notes for any known issues or changes related to network connectivity or VPN compatibility.

Example

No specific code example is provided as the issue seems to be related to configuration or environmental factors rather than code.

Notes

The exact cause of the "Failed to create bridge sockets" error is not specified, and without more detailed logs or environment information, it's challenging to provide a precise solution. The issue might be specific to the interaction between Claude Code, the VPN, and the Windows environment.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Given the regression nature of the issue and the lack of a clear code-related problem, the best course of action seems to be to apply a workaround, such as adjusting VPN settings or testing without VPN, until a more permanent fix can be identified and implemented.
