Root cause
A VPN or restrictive network blocks the auth callback / Codeium servers, so the login never completes (often with no clear error message).
How to reproduce
Try to sign in to Windsurf while connected to a VPN; login loops or fails silently.

Disconnect the VPN, then sign in. Multiple users confirm login succeeds immediately once the VPN is off.

If you must use a VPN/corporate network, whitelist the Codeium/Windsurf auth domains per the official 'Common Windsurf Issues' allowlist.
