VSCode Tunnels Bug Workaround

Raw

If you get the error "The workbench failed to connect to the server (Error: Connection error: Unauthorized client refused: auth mismatch)" when trying to connect from one VS Code instance to VS Code tunnel on another machine do the following workaround:

Open the remote URL in the browser.
Close the tab few times before "Yes I Trust" popup appears, press it.
Done. Now you can again use the desktop version to connect to a tunnel.

Thanks Microsoft...
