Linux ping is routed correctly and then dropped

cn flag

I have two routers that are connected via Wireguard. Access to the internet via wg works fine, but I would like to access my PI attached to routerS.

From routerS, I can happily ping the locally attached PI (OutputInfo line below). An identical ping from RouterT (FwdInfo line below) is received by routerS and seems ready to FORWARD to the correct OUT=br-lan interface, but instead routerT replies with ICMP TYPE=3 CODE=3 (FailInfo line below)

routerS kernel: [95228.293520] OutputInfo IN=    OUT=br-lan      SRC=192.168.0.1     DST=192.168.0.80 LEN=978 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=28681 DF PROTO=ICMP TYPE=8 CODE=0 ID=29579 SEQ=0 okPingFromRouterS

# packet logging from iptables

Routing appears to be straight forward, but clearly I am missing something. There is a separate routing table (200) for packets originating from br-lan, but I think that should not matter here.

root@routerS:~# ip route
default via 192.168.8.1 dev eth0.2 proto static src 192.168.8.84
192.168.0.0/24 dev br-lan proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.1
192.168.8.0/24 dev eth0.2 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.8.84
192.168.219.246/31 dev wg0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.219.247

root@routerS:~# ip rule
0:      from all lookup local
1:      from all iif br-lan lookup 200
32766:  from all lookup main
32767:  from all lookup default

root@routerS:~# ip route show table 200
default dev wg0 proto static scope link

Why is the forwarded ping not being forwarded to the PI?

Do you have IP forwarding enabled in kernel?

Yes. Forwarding is enabled

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
