Sorry for newb question.
Every 2 weeks or so, I update my VPS manually and update any containers (only pangolin hosted on this VPS).
I realized my docker compose had the :latest tags for crowdsec and pangolin, but not gerbil or traefik.
I updated the compose file to pull the :latest from all four containers needed for pangolin.

I'm now on Pangolin 1.9 and everything on the latest releases as well. On the dashboard under Manage Sites, I see it's running Newt 1.4.2 on my homelab server. The IP Address shown is 100.x.x.x

I was concerned since I dont remember seeing that on previous versions of pangolin so it's a new thing, atleast I think it is. But this IP address isn't one I am familiar with. So I check my dedicated IP on my VPS, it's not the same. It's not my home ISP IP either. So I check ip lookups and at that point I release it might be the wireguard tunneled connection.

Can someone verify that? I want to make sure I didn't mess up my install and leaking something or have it horribly misconfigured.
Also any other place for general discussion instead of discord?

Thanks for an awesome piece of software!

Hi! No worries, thanks for reaching out and sorry for the delay!

This IP is actually the IP for the newt when using clients.
https://docs.digpangolin.com/manage/clients/add-client

Clients are a new thing in Pangolin kind of still in beta that allow you
to VPN into a new to access things without going through the proxy and
the public internet. Kind of like tailscale or netbird but not a mesh.
Give it a shot! :}
