Direct to machine connectivity uses Azure WCF relays to allow the Microsoft cloud to connect to on-premises machines and schedule desktop flow runs. The Power Automate Windows service that runs on-premises opens a relay listener that connects to the Azure cloud by opening web sockets.

The most common cause of relay connectivity issues is the machine losing connection to the network. This can be caused by your machine not being powered on or losing network when no user is signed in to the machine for instance.

The Power Automate service runs under its own Windows account (NT Service\UIFlowService by default) which must have access to the network and be able to connect to _*.servicebus.windows.net_ (for more information, see [network requirements](/power-automate/ip-address-configuration#desktop-flows-services-required-for-runtime).)

2. Understand the topology of the network: what network devices does the traffic hop through before being handed off to the public internet: NAT, firewalls, proxies and so on. Get logs from these devices during impacted runs, and logs from the outermost network device attesting that the traffic to _*.servicebus.windows.net_ is handed off to the public internet.
