docs(site-to-vpn): drop Source IP Behavior section
The "Outbound SNAT requirement" section already covers why the source IP ends up as the routing peer's NetBird IP; a separate Source IP Behavior section was repeating the same point and adding a speculative paragraph about future Networks support. Drop both, plus the up-front Warning that pointed at the removed section.

## Source IP Behavior
|
||||
|
||||
Because of the outbound SNAT above, the target peer always observes the
|
||||
**routing peer's NetBird IP** as the source — regardless of which clientless
|
||||
device on the site initiated the connection.
|
||||
|

Preserving the original site source IP all the way to the target peer is

**not currently possible**. Removing the access policy that targets the

destination peer does not "open" it; it simply tears down the wireguard

fails to establish at all. Future versions of [Networks](/manage/networks)

may expose Resource groups as policy sources for the Site-to-VPN direction

— track the Networks documentation for updates.

## Troubleshooting

||||
|
||||
**Connection times out from the clientless device.**
