This night service stopped sunddenly and after tried to disable/delete credentials and restart service I obtain:⣷ the zrok service returned an error: [POST /enable][500] enableInternalServerError

there was a problem enabling your environment!

you are trying to use the zrok service at: [https://api-v1.zrok.io](https://api-v1.zrok.io)

you can change your zrok service endpoint using this command:

$ zrok config set apiEndpoint

(where newEndpoint is something like: [https://some.zrok.io](https://some.zrok.io))

I’ve tried forcing endpoint with [https://api-v1.zrok.io](https://api-v1.zrok.io) and same results.

Seems in [status.zrok.io](http://status.zrok.io) everything is fine but should not be.

Any possible solution?

same problem for me on ubuntu 24.04.  
I tried releasing/removing/disableing environment, creating new account, but nothing works.

```auto
you are trying to use the zrok service at: https://api-v1.zrok.io

you can change your zrok service endpoint using this command:

$ zrok config set apiEndpoint <newEndpoint>

(where newEndpoint is something like: https://some.zrok.io)

```
