Can't delete topics?

Hi there,
I’ve installed Discourse for the first time using Docker on a VM via Google Cloud’s compute engine.
Everything is running smoothly (as far as I can see) and I’ve managed to set up the email too and it works fine.
I’m now trying to delete posts both with an admin account and a user account I created (via incognito) and I keep getting a 504 error.

Nothing in the log, but console shows the following:

Any thoughts?

UPDATE:
Ok this is even weirder.

I have tested it on different browser and with different users, and it still did not work.
I have then tested it on my phone, and it didn’t work either. I then attempted it again using 4G on my phone (instead of WiFi) and it worked!

I now tried it again on my PC using VPN and it worked. So it seems that my ISP is blocking the request to the server?!

Any ideas?!?

How big were these topics? The server can’t manage deleting very big topics or too many posts at once. I had this issue once, and deleting smaller blocks of posts worked fine

thanks! It was just a single post topic.
