Connection Hangs on 'CONNECTING' and SSH Gets Disconnected

[davidstrt]

Describe the bug
I successfully installed the 'myst' CLI on a Linux server. I was able to topping up my identity and list 'proposals'. However, when I try to issue the 'connect' command via either of the following methods:

1. myst cli >> connect <my-identity> <provider-identity> wireguard
2. myst connection up <provider-identity>

The process hangs on 'CONNECTING' and the SSH connection gets disconnected with the following message:
client_loop: send disconnect. broken pipe.

Until I perform a restart through the dashboard, I am unable to establish an SSH connection to the machine.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. ssh into linux server
2. myst connection up <provider-id>
3. ssh gets disconnected

Expected behavior
It's expected to see the result of connect command, whether connection was successful or not without disrupting ssh connection.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• Node version: 1.29.20
• OS: Linux 20.04.6 LTS (Focal Fossa)

Additional context

• I am connected to the server by extending the SSH connectivity timeout using the following command: ssh -o ServerAliveInterval=300 root@<server-ip> to no vail.
• IP forwarding is enabled.
• All iptables rules are purged before using myst ( no conflicting rules) and all ports are open ( no firewall ).
• I also tested it on a second VPS in a different datacenter; same issue: SSH gets disconnected on issuing the connect command.
• consumer logs does not show any remarkable errors:
  sudo journalctl -u mysterium-consumer.service | grep ERR
