Describe the issue

Connectivity to Tidal is timing out, really slow, or resulting in Login Failed

Describe your network setup

Roon core running on a Linux VM under ESXi with direct connectivity to Unifi gateway firewall. I'm an cybersecurity professional, I don't believe this to be a networking issue on my end. I have consistent 15ms connectivity to tidal.com. I have executed the instructions here w/ no correction: https://help.roonlabs.com/portal/en/kb/articles/connectivity-issues-after-updating-to-build-1382

I believe I have resolved this on my end. I noticed that rapidly advancing songs in a playlist seemed to hang the Roon Core VM temporarily even though all of the perf metrics looked ok. I took everything down and rebooted ESX and it seems to be stable now. I now think that maybe the timeout was random issues in the ESX network stack.
