# Pterodactyl Wings Offline – Daemon Won't Connect to Panel

Wings offline in Pterodactyl? Daemon token, SSL, firewall port 8080, config.yml & node connection – fix step by step.

**Quick answer:** Wings offline = daemon can't reach panel. Check **config.yml** (token, URL), **SSL certificate**, **port 8080** and if `wings` is running.

**If you landed here:** Pterodactyl panel shows node "Offline", servers won't start or show "Wings offline".

## Checklist

- `systemctl status wings`
- `journalctl -u wings -n 50`
- `/etc/pterodactyl/config.yml` – token + panel URL correct?
- Valid SSL cert for node FQDN?
- `ufw allow 8080/tcp`
