Unfortunately, the situation is even worse, now I can't connect at all
(not even after a minute or so). It all seems pretty bugged. Whatever
I click (retry communications, select computer...) I don't get an
expected response but only blocking, "nothing happens" and other
(circular) errors. Weird.

Here is what I get on the console, if it's of any use:

send: -1
send: Bad file descriptor
connect: Connection refused
execvp(./boinc, -redirectio) failed with error 2!
connect: Operation now in progress
send: -1
send: Connection refused
SIGPIPE: write on a pipe with no readersend: -1
send: Broken pipe
SIGPIPE: write on a pipe with no readersend: -1
send: Broken pipe
connect: Operation now in progress
connect: Operation now in progress
connect: Operation now in progress
connect: Operation now in progress
