Describe the Bug

i'm trying to get a basic wireguard tunnel working, the connected client would be a openwrt router.
the tunnel connects just fine but i can not make resources accessible via this tunnel.

i've checked all firewall settings but can not find the issue, i suspect a missconfiguration on pangolins side maybe?

Environment

OS Type & Version: Debian 13
Pangolin Version: 1.16.2
Gerbil Version:
Traefik Version:
Newt Version:
Olm Version: (if applicable)

To Reproduce

setup basic wireguard tunnel, add wireguard to openwrt, set input to accept of wireguard zone in firewall settings, create new resource in pangolin dashboard and point to openwrt wireguard ip address port 80
try to access newly created resource

Expected Behavior

if i accept incomming connections on the wireguard interface in openwrt as test and point pangolin to that adress and port 80 i expect to see the openwrt web interface but instead i get a "Gateway Timeout" error.
the tunnel is shown as connected in pangolin and openwrt, there is a bit of traffic going through (a few packets rx and tx per minute)
