Hi, I followed the instructions on how to install and deploy a headless client including the needed json file. The install does work once one runs the install command in an administrative command line but the tunnel itself never gets online.
Twingate gets installed, the needed directories (i.e. logfile and the path the headless.conf resides in) are deployed, the service does start but nothing more.
I do see a twingate interface in “ipconfig” but it is down and has no ip address. The windows 10 pro PC does have internet access and does work great in general.
The log isn’t really helpful either (even if set to debug mode in headless.conf):

log-level in headless.conf is set to “debug” but that seems not to change a thing.
Install was done by:
TwingateWindowsInstaller.msi service_secret=C:\headless_client.json /qn
(i’ve renamed the file to the name shown in the command)
Installation does run smoothly and without errors… even if I start without /qn switch…
Any ideas here? I’m stuck …
