As of newt version 1.11.0, this issue appears to have been fixed. Could others also confirm?
@Jdsx74 commented on GitHub (Apr 16, 2026):
I have the same problem with Pangolin 1.17.0 and Newt 1.11.0.
I start Newt service, but after 4/5 days the connection drop and i have to restart the newt service to be able to access to site again..
Thank you !

Same here.
Would it be possible to implement a health check so that a script could reboot the newt server?
@svillar commented on GitHub (Apr 18, 2026):
I've newt 1.11.0 and I can easily reproduce this issue. Not following the same steps. In my case newt is runnning in a docker container in a NAS (ARM) which is connected via ethernet, so unless something very wrong happens it's always online. At some point it disconnects:
and then it never recovers (when I got the log it was reporting >1000 consecutive failures). Only restarting it makes it work again. It's a serious issue as it makes resources lose all connectivity

I'm BTW available for further testing, using an image with extra debugging or the like, just ping me back.

@svillar Mind poking me on discord and throw me a site config?
