Documents persistent return-route setup on the destination host when masquerade is disabled on a routing peer. Covers Netplan, systemd-networkd, NetworkManager, ifupdown, and RHEL legacy network-scripts, plus verification and a security note. Resolves the previously dangling "Related" tile in how-routing-peers-work.mdx.
- Netplan: show as a fragment with addresses/default route context so readers don't paste it as a standalone file - systemd-networkd: note the drop-in needs a matching .network file and point at networkctl status to find it - Test section: add ping/curl reachability examples - Verify section: call out that proto/onlink/metric fields are normal - Remove NetworkManager, ifupdown, and RHEL legacy sections
Lead with the common case (cloud-init / installer yaml already exists), and call out the placeholders in the example. Add a fallback path for the rare case where /etc/netplan/ is empty.
Replace the weak one-liner with a bold "pick one" callout and a two-bullet decision criterion (ls /etc/netplan/) so readers don't mistake the two H3 sections for sequential steps.
Mirror the section already on the site-to-vpn page so readers learn to use their account's /16 block rather than pinning the whole /10. Same prose and netbird status recipe; trailing line adapted to reference 100.64.0.0/10 (the placeholder used elsewhere on this page).

ping would fail for ACL reasons (not routing reasons) on policies scoped to specific TCP ports, misdirecting troubleshooting. Use curl or nc against an allowed port instead.
