One connection over the climiter quota killed the whole service. The conn
limiter wrapper signals an over-limit connection by returning a plain
error from Accept, which the accept loop does not recognise as either a
listener.AcceptError or a temporary net.Error, so it fell through to the
fatal branch and returned. program.go discards Serve's return value, so
the process stayed up with no further logging while nothing accepted
connections any more. Every later connection sat in the listen backlog,
where the kernel completes the handshake but no service ever reads it, so
clients saw a connection that opens and then never negotiates. Only a
restart recovered the service.
The counter itself was never the problem: llimiter.Allow rolls the count
back when it refuses, and a test now pins that. A test also pins that
the accept loop survives a rejection and still serves the connection
that follows it.
Export ErrConnLimit so the refusal can be told apart from a listener
that has genuinely failed, and continue the accept loop on it. The
plain-http-tunnel listener refused over-limit connections with an
identical error and is fixed the same way.
Closes#914
A remote listener (rtcp/runix/rudp) wraps an accept failure in core's
AcceptError — which always answers Temporary() — to say "rebuild the transport
and try again", and a closed pipe under it is one of the failures that recovers
that way, so the retry stays exactly as it was. What was wrong is what it said: a
stop arrives down the same path, and a warning that promises a retry reads like a
hiccup in the log of a service that is simply being stopped. The retry is logged
at debug when the error means a closed listener, pipe or socket; every other
failure still warns, and the tail still logs real failures at error.
No behaviour change: the retry, its backoff and the state transitions are
untouched — the classification decides only the log level.
Stopping a service closes its listener, and a closed listener answers Accept
with core's listener.ErrClosed — which the guard never matched (it knew only
net.ErrClosed), so every stop reached the log at error level and read like a
crash. The tun handler logged the same shape a second time: its client wrapped a
closed device with %s, throwing the cause away, so the caller could not tell a
device closed under the reader from a real read failure. %w keeps the chain and
the handler logs the closed case at debug.
The service Serve loop counted every handler error — including client-side
disconnects (io.EOF, net.ErrClosed, context cancellation) and policy
decisions (rate limiting, bypass) — as server handler errors, inflating
the error counter and log noise. isServerError() now gates the error-level
log, error counter, and stats increment; non-server errors are logged at
debug level only.
chainGroup.Close() existed but was never called: the group is wrapped
in a chain.Router held by the listener/handler, and service.Close()
only closed the handler, observer, and listener. Every SIGHUP reload
leaked the old config's probe goroutines permanently.
Wire the close path end to end:
- Router.Close() closes its chain when it implements io.Closer
- service ClosersOption registers io.Closers called on shutdown
- ParseService passes both routers via ClosersOption, and closes
them on construction failure so probes started early don't leak
When Accept() returns a transient error, the service enters StateFailed,
sleeps for the retry delay, then loops back to Accept(). Previously the
state stayed StateFailed until the next successful Accept() — which
could take arbitrarily long for idle services, making status observers
see a stale 'error' even though the service has already reconnected
and is ready.
Now set StateReady (and clear lastError) immediately after the retry
sleep. The redundant state transition on successful Accept is removed
since recovery is handled once after the sleep.

Now set StateReady (and clear lastError) immediately after the retry

correctly reflects that the service is functional.
The sshd handler performed a concrete type assertion on the accepted
connection, but the SSH listener's Accept() wraps each connection with
a traffic limiter (limitConn), obscuring the underlying *DirectForwardConn
type and causing 'sshd: wrong connection type' whenever a limiter was
configured.
Add an UnwrapConn() method to the traffic limiter wrapper and an
unwrapConn() helper in the handler that peels through wrapper layers
before the type switch. The handler uses the unwrapped conn only for
the type-specific DstAddr() call, while the original limiter-wrapped
conn drives data transfer so rate limiting remains effective.
Also track the last accept/bind error on service Status so callers can
retrieve the cause when a service enters the failed state.

Upgrade github.com/go-gost/core from v0.3.3 to v0.4.0, adapting to
interface changes:
- Admit(ctx, network, addr, opts) now accepts a network parameter
- Router.Dial now accepts variadic chain.DialOption, forwarded to
the route's Dial call along with router-level options
- gRPC/HTTP admission plugins include the new Network field
Also fix two typos: ResoloverNodeOption -> ResolverNodeOption,
WithHostOpton -> WithHostOption.
