Unreachable on one target

Likely causes

  • - Target blocks the endpoint range
  • - Target IPv6-only path fails

Verified remedy

Test the target from a different endpoint country; confirm the target resolves on IPv4.

Unreachable everywhere

Likely causes

  • - Routing issue at the endpoint
  • - Expired endpoint

Verified remedy

Check dashboard status; swap to a spare endpoint and record the incident.

Final connection check

  1. 1Apply the matched remedy
  2. 2Test the endpoint with curl
  3. 3Repeat the original action
  4. 4Confirm the exit IP is the assigned endpoint

Working connection

The action completes and the exit IP matches the endpoint.

Broken connection

If curl also fails, the endpoint is unhealthy: swap to a spare.
