Issue with swap External IP
Hello,
I have swapped the external IP using IP Transfer option.
After the swap, both nodes have not internet access and I cannot ssh connect to them.
I used this instruction https://www.linode.com/docs/guides/remote-access/#transferring-ip-addresses
Also, I tested with out Auto-configure networking option and with static IP settings. It doesn't help me.
When I swap the IP addresses back, everything works OK.
Could you please help me fix this issue?

@devpro After you swap IP addresses, does enabling Network Helper and rebooting the Linode restore network connectivity? If you're still having trouble, feel free to open a Support ticket so that our team can check your Linodes for any possible infrastructure issues.
Hope this helps!
Thank you, but this didn't help.
Network Helper is enabled and I have rebooted a few times both nodes.
Also, I have opened the ticket 5 hours ago, but still haven't received a response.
I am having this problem, too.
In our case, we have test domains on two Linode VPS's. All sites have self-signed certificates, so DNS is not the issue.
When we swap the IP's between the two servers (and locally point to the correct IP for each site) sites are no longer accessible due to some sort of SSL error.
If I swap the IP's back (and locally point to the correct IP for each site) everything works again.
I tried re-issuing a self-signed cert for one of our test domains. There was no observable change in behavior.
