title: Connecting to a RabbitMQ Deployment hosted on Google Compute Engine
body: <p>I'm trying to connect to a RabbitMQ Deployment cluster created by Google Compute Engine. 
  After the successful deploy I'm able to get into the web management interface through the ssh tunneling command provided.</p>
  
  <p>Now I'm not able to connect my client to the RabbitMQ instance. Tried using both with VM Ephemeral IP and <code>rabbitmq-all-nodes-XXXXX</code> load balancer IP. </p>
  
  <p>We use Node <code>amqplib</code> and we connect using the admin user account on the canonical URI:</p>
  
  <pre><code>amqp://user:pass@host:5672/vhost 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Nothing more than ECONNREFUSED is returned to us so it's pretty hard to find out the problem</p>
  
  <p>Regards,</p>
