Mycroft on PC not able to connect port 8181 messagebus

Hi, “all of a sudden” when a fully functional mycroft now can’t connect to messagebus port 8181, this port is open on the firewall and VPN both TCP/UDP. But this has been that way long before this issue started happening the enclosure log shows:

ConnectionRefusedError: [Errno 111] Connection refused

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
