AnyDesk on macOS stuck on “Not connected to the server” internet/DNS working

Hey Everyone,

I am having an issue with AnyDesk on my Mac that I have not been able to resolve.

Setup:

macos

anydesk 9.7.3

macbook air m4

tailscale installed, but currently completely disabled

macOS Firewall is OFF

AnyDesk was working normally before, and I am trying to connect from my Mac to a Windows laptop.

Now AnyDesk constantly shows: AnyDesk is not connected to the server. Please check your internet connection.

internet connection is definitely working.(posting from same mac on reddit)

Any ideas what could be causing this?
