Describe the Bug
A Newt site that previously worked stopped carrying public-resource traffic. Pangolin still showed the site online / reconnected, but resources behind that Newt site returned 502.
The site had historical non-zero data in/out counters, so this was not a fresh setup that never worked. The same backend resources were restored immediately by moving them from the Newt site to a local Pangolin site on the VPS, reaching the same backend IPs/ports over an existing NetBird route.
Environment
madpiTo Reproduce
I do not have a clean minimal reproducer yet. The failure was observed in this sequence:
wg0shows no useful RX / handshake traffic.Additional checks:
51820reached the VPS.Expected Behavior
If the Newt site is online/reconnected, the WireGuard data plane should recover or report a clear failed state. Previously working public resources behind the Newt site should not remain stuck at 502 with no useful
wg0RX/handshake traffic.
