I followed the setup through the VPS cli configuration, but I'm getting the following error when I try to set up a site:

ERROR: 2025/07/19 02:58:22 Failed to get token with status code: 400
ERROR: 2025/07/19 02:58:22 Failed to connect: failed to get token: failed to get token with status code: 400. Retrying in 3s...

As far as I can see, my Debian 12 VPS should have the firewall set up correctly:

$ sudo ufw status
Status: active

To                         Action      From

443/tcp                    ALLOW       Anywhere

51820/udp                  ALLOW       Anywhere                  
80/tcp (v6)                ALLOW       Anywhere (v6)             
443/tcp (v6)               ALLOW       Anywhere (v6)             
44/tcp (v6)                ALLOW       Anywhere (v6)             
51820/udp (v6)             ALLOW       Anywhere (v6)

and I can get to the pangolin webconfig just fine, but the Newt tunnel won't establish itself. This is likely a configuration error, but I don't know how to go from "Bad Request" to what's actually wrong here.

Solved: I had not yet created the site. I guess I expected the token server to be live as soon as I was presented with the credentials.

Below is what made it "click":
