I decided to add my home IP address to the whitelist, and I am now able to
connect. Looks like the problem is solved. Yes, it was the home netowrk
because I was able to connect with my phones network but not when I was
connected to the WiFi.

All seems well now.

Nice. Glad it worked out!

If it's something that was working and then stopped, is your home computer
using DHCP? Your lease may have expired, allocating you a fresh IP, which was
not on your allow list for connecting.
