Im currently trying to connect Postman to the Salesforce, but im unable to successfully verify thye connection test. I keep getting this code Cloud Agent Error:
Unable to reach the Cloud Agent. Try later or select a different agent. Ive tried to repeat the steps several times without success, any help

That error is coming from Postman, not Salesforce - the browser version of Postman routes every request through its Cloud Agent, and Unable to reach the Cloud Agent means that cloud service is unreachable or blocked for you, so the connection test never actually goes out. Fix: stop using the Cloud Agent. The most reliable option is the Postman DESKTOP app, which sends requests straight from your machine and is what Salesforce recommends for their API collections. If you want to stay in the browser, install the Postman Desktop Agent, then pick Desktop Agent in the agent selector at the bottom of the request area (or Settings - Agents) and confirm it shows Connected; also allow
postman.com and getpostman.com through any VPN, firewall, or ad blocker. Re-run the connection test with the desktop app or Desktop Agent active and it will complete. if this helps, please mark it as the Best Answer so it helps the next person - thanks
