No connections to the polling server at polling.[domain] could be opened. The collaborator will not work in this configuration.

I am struggling to get my private Burp collaborator working correctly, running a health check gives: An HTTP connection to the capture server at 6qxgdpy57h21gh1p4si6u6jil9rm55pntqi.[DOMAIN] could not be opened. An HTTPS connection to the capture server at 6qxgdpy57h21gh1p4si6u6jil9rm55pntqi.[DOMAIN] could not be opened. An SMTP connection to the capture server at 6qxgdpy57h21gh1p4si6u6jil9rm55pntqi.[DOMAIN] port 25 could not be opened. An SMTP connection to the capture server at 6qxgdpy57h21gh1p4si6u6jil9rm55pntqi.[DOMAIN] port 587 could not be opened. Communication using other protocols did work; possibly a firewall is preventing this connection. No connections to the polling server at polling.[DOMAIN] could be opened. The collaborator will not work in this configuration. Running the recommended checks show that it is resolving okay: $ dig [DOMAIN] NS +noall +answer +short ns1.[DOMAIN] ns1\.[DOMAIN]\.[TLD].[DOMAIN].

All the required ports are also open on the firewall (host and network firewall).
