Sanity Start compiles however localhost:3333 returns nothing

Question

Good day all... I have been having an issue with Sanity for the past 3 days... After running sanity start on my linux vps I get the success message Content Studio successfully compiled! Go to http://localhost:3333 however the link returns nothing - it just loads indefinitely without any error message in my console. I have tried chrome, brave and firefox as well as turning third-party cookies on - I'd appreciate any assistance or ideas as to what the problem may be

If simply re-starting Sanity Studio doesn't work, you might check if there's still a thread running after exiting studio, and if so, terminate the thread and start Studio again.

A simple CLI command that kills the process running on port 3333 is:

lsof -t -i tcp:3333 | xargs kill

I've experienced similar issues with Studio being unresponsive after inadvertently leaving it running when my MBP goes to sleep. When I return, it appears Sanity is still running in the terminal, but there is no browser response and no errors thrown in the terminal.
