I have installed pangolin via the script from your website on a fresh install of deb 12 on my VPS. Everything starts up normal and I don't have any errors in the logs. When I try to start set up my first

When I use the newt script given, it pings and fails for ever.
I've tried using the docker install of newt, once it's up I still can't ping the ip of the WG on pangolin.
I've tried using a wireguard config file on a linux install, and still could not ping the ip of the WG on pangolin.
I've tried using a wireguard configuration on my windows computer, and it repeatedly tried sending a handshake initiation to peer 1.

I'm kind of out of things to try at this point. I would love some extra trouble shooting ideas.

VPS: DEB12 install via script
Home server: installed via script from pangolin

Aaand as I was just wrapping this up, I figured out why it wouldn't connect. The proxy service from cloudflare on the pangolin.mywebsite.com was somehow killing the connection. I'm going to use the word "somehow" as I barely understand most of this stuff works, but I'm pretty ok at breaking things and flipping the switches until I figure out what's wrong.

Any thought on how to keep the cloudflare proxy service working? It seems like another small layer of not exposing my IP address.

Also another question related to the newt install, if I'm using the script provided by the web GUI, it seems to stay running taking up my terminal screen, and if I control C out of that, it clearly kills my connection. Is there any future plan to work in the option to keep it running with the systemd service automatically?
