Since starting with a new workflow I’ve encountered a problem with the local Node.js program crashing. Restarting it seems to work for saving the workflow and other tasks that involve communication with the n8n servers.
But now that I’m at a step where the workflow needs to be communicating with the Google Sheets API I’m having an additional problem with the webhook apparently not connecting:
The crash error that I get from the local Node.js app is as follows:
PS C:\Users\me> n8n start --tunnel
Waiting for tunnel …
Tunnel URL: https://[redacted].hooks.n8n.cloud/
IMPORTANT! Do not share with anybody as it would give people access to your n8n instance!

I’m running Windows 10 Pro, so this may be a firewall configuration issue. That would be an easy fix if there are instructions you can point me to on the n8n site.
