extraInitialRoutes() was meant to preserve only the fake IP route
(240.0.0.0/8) across TUN rebuilds, but it re-injected any initial
route missing from the current set. When the management server
advertised exit node routes (0.0.0.0/0) that were later filtered
by the route selector, extraInitialRoutes() re-added them, causing
the Android VPN to capture all traffic with no peer to handle it.
Store the fake IP route explicitly and append only that in notify(),
removing the overly broad initial route diffing.
- Add GetSelectedClientRoutes() to the route manager that filters through FilterSelectedExitNodes, returning only active routes instead of all management routes
- Use GetSelectedClientRoutes() in the DNS route checker so deselected exit nodes' 0.0.0.0/0 no longer matches upstream DNS IPs — this prevented the resolver from switching
away from the utun-bound socket after exit node deselection
- Initialize iOS DNS server with host DNS fallback addresses (1.1.1.1:53, 1.0.0.1:53) and a permanent root zone handler, matching Android's behavior — without this, unmatched
DNS queries arriving via the 0.0.0.0/0 tunnel route had no handler and were silently dropped
Update the mgmProber interface to use HealthCheck() instead of the
now-unexported GetServerPublicKey(), aligning with the changes in the
management client API.
* Unexport GetServerPublicKey, add HealthCheck method
Internalize server key fetching into Login, Register,
GetDeviceAuthorizationFlow, and GetPKCEAuthorizationFlow methods,
removing the need for callers to fetch and pass the key separately.
Replace the exported GetServerPublicKey with a HealthCheck() error
method for connection validation, keeping IsHealthy() bool for
non-blocking background monitoring.
Fix test encryption to use correct key pairs (client public key as
remotePubKey instead of server private key).
* Refactor `doMgmLogin` to return only error, removing unused response
- DNS resolution broke after deselecting an exit node because the route checker used all client routes (including deselected ones) to decide how to forward upstream DNS
queries
- Added GetSelectedClientRoutes() to the route manager that filters out deselected exit nodes, and switched the DNS route checker to use it
- Confirmed fix via device testing: after deselecting exit node, DNS queries now correctly use a regular network socket instead of binding to the utun interface
* [client] Support embed.Client on Android with netstack mode
embed.Client.Start() calls ConnectClient.Run() which passes an empty
MobileDependency{}. On Android, the engine dereferences nil fields
(IFaceDiscover, NetworkChangeListener, DnsReadyListener) causing panics.
Provide complete no-op stubs so the engine's existing Android code
paths work unchanged — zero modifications to engine.go:
- Add androidRunOverride hook in Run() for Android-specific dispatch
- Add runOnAndroidEmbed() with complete MobileDependency (all stubs)
- Wire default stubs via init() in connect_android_default.go:
noopIFaceDiscover, noopNetworkChangeListener, noopDnsReadyListener
- Forward logPath to c.run()
Tested: embed.Client starts on Android arm64, joins mesh via relay,
discovers peers, localhost proxy works for TCP+UDP forwarding.
* [client] Fix TestServiceParamsPath for Windows path separators
Use filepath.Join in test assertions instead of hardcoded POSIX paths
so the test passes on Windows where filepath.Join uses backslashes.
Remove client secret from gRPC auth flow. The secret was originally included to support providers like Google Workspace that don't offer a proper PKCE flow, but this is no longer necessary with the embedded IdP. Deployments using such providers should migrate to the embedded IdP instead.
* Simplify Android ConnStatus API with integer constants
Replace dual field PeerInfo design with unified integer based
ConnStatus field and exported gomobile friendly constants.
Changes:
> PeerInfo.ConnStatus: changed from string to int
> Export three constants: ConnStatusIdle, ConnStatusConnecting,ConnStatusConnected (mapped to peer.ConnStatus enum values)
> Updated PeersList() to convert peer enum directly to int
Benefits:
> Simpler API surface with single ConnStatus field
> Better gomobile compatibility for cross-platform usage
> Type-safe integer constants across language boundaries
* test: add All group to setupTestAccount fixture
The setupTestAccount() test helper was missing the required "All" group,
causing "failed to get group all: no group ALL found" errors during
test execution. Add the All group with all test peers to match the
expected account structure.
Fixes the failing account and types package tests when GetGroupAll()
is called in test scenarios.
* [client] Add Expose support to embed library
Add ability to expose local services via the NetBird reverse proxy
from embedded client code.
Introduce ExposeSession with a blocking Wait method that keeps
the session alive until the context is cancelled.
Extract ProtocolType with ParseProtocolType into the expose package
and use it across CLI and embed layers.
* Fix TestNewRequest assertion to use ProtocolType instead of int
* Add documentation for Request and KeepAlive in expose manager
* Refactor ExposeSession to pass context explicitly in Wait method
* Refactor ExposeSession Wait method to explicitly pass context
* Update client/embed/expose.go

* client/ui: fix Exit Node submenu separator accumulation on Windows
On Windows the tray uses a background poller (every 10s) instead of
TrayOpenedCh to keep the Exit Node menu fresh. Each poll that has a
selected exit node called s.mExitNode.AddSeparator() before the
"Deselect All" item. Because AddSeparator() returns no handle the
separator was never removed in the cleanup pass of
recreateExitNodeMenu(), while every other item (exit node checkboxes
and the "Deselect All" entry) was properly tracked and removed.
After the client has been running for a while with an exit node
selected this leaves hundreds of separator lines stacked in the
submenu, filling the screen height with blank entries (#4702).
On Linux/FreeBSD this is masked because the parent mExitNode item
itself is removed and recreated each cycle, wiping all children
including orphaned separators.
Fix: replace the untracked AddSeparator() call with a regular disabled
sub-menu item that is stored in mExitNodeSeparator and removed at the
start of each recreateExitNodeMenu() call alongside mExitNodeDeselectAll.
Fixes#4702
* client/ui: extract addExitNodeDeselectAll to reduce cognitive complexity
Move the separator + deselect-all creation and its goroutine listener
out of recreateExitNodeMenu into a dedicated helper, bringing the
function's cognitive complexity back under the SonarCloud threshold.
* Add client metrics
* Add client metrics system with OpenTelemetry and VictoriaMetrics support
Implements a comprehensive client metrics system to track peer connection
stages and performance. The system supports multiple backend implementations
(OpenTelemetry, VictoriaMetrics, and no-op) and tracks detailed connection
stage durations from creation through WireGuard handshake.
Key changes:
- Add metrics package with pluggable backend implementations
- Implement OpenTelemetry metrics backend
- Implement VictoriaMetrics metrics backend
- Add no-op metrics implementation for disabled state
- Track connection stages: creation, semaphore, signaling, connection ready, and WireGuard handshake
- Move WireGuard watcher functionality to conn.go
- Refactor engine to integrate metrics tracking
- Add metrics export endpoint in debug server
* Add signaling metrics tracking for initial and reconnection attempts
* Reset connection stage timestamps during reconnections to exclude unnecessary metrics tracking
* Delete otel lib from client
* Update unit tests
* Invoke callback on handshake success in WireGuard watcher
* Add Netbird version tracking to client metrics
Integrate Netbird version into VictoriaMetrics backend and metrics labels. Update `ClientMetrics` constructor and metric name formatting to include version information.
* Add sync duration tracking to client metrics
Introduce `RecordSyncDuration` for measuring sync message processing time. Update all metrics implementations (VictoriaMetrics, no-op) to support the new method. Refactor `ClientMetrics` to use `AgentInfo` for static agent data.
* Remove no-op metrics implementation and simplify ClientMetrics constructor
Eliminate unused `noopMetrics` and refactor `ClientMetrics` to always use the VictoriaMetrics implementation. Update associated logic to reflect these changes.
* Add total duration tracking for connection attempts
Calculate total duration for both initial connections and reconnections, accounting for different timestamp scenarios. Update `Export` method to include Prometheus HELP comments.
* Add metrics push support to VictoriaMetrics integration
* [client] anchor connection metrics to first signal received
* Remove creation_to_semaphore connection stage metric
The semaphore queuing stage (Created → SemaphoreAcquired) is no longer
tracked. Connection metrics now start from SignalingReceived. Updated
docs and Grafana dashboard accordingly.
* [client] Add remote push config for metrics with version-based eligibility
Introduce remoteconfig.Manager that fetches a remote JSON config to control
metrics push interval and restrict pushing to a specific agent version
range. When NB_METRICS_INTERVAL is set, remote config is bypassed
entirely for local override.
* [client] Add WASM-compatible NewClientMetrics implementation
Replace NewClientMetrics in metrics.go with a WASM-specific stub in metrics_js.go, returning nil for compatibility with JS builds. Simplify method usage for WASM targets.
* Add missing file
* Update default case in DeploymentType.String to return "unknown" instead of "selfhosted"
* [client] Rework metrics to use timestamped samples instead of histograms
Replace cumulative Prometheus histograms with timestamped point-in-time
samples that are pushed once and cleared. This fixes metrics for sparse
events (connections/syncs that happen once at startup) where rate() and
increase() produced incorrect or empty results.
Changes:
- Switch from VictoriaMetrics histogram library to raw Prometheus text
format with explicit millisecond timestamps
- Reset samples after successful push (no resending stale data)
- Rename connection_to_handshake → connection_to_wg_handshake
- Add netbird_peer_connection_count metric for ICE vs Relay tracking
- Simplify dashboard: point-based scatter plots, donut pie chart
- Add maxStalenessInterval=1m to VictoriaMetrics to prevent forward-fill
- Fix deployment_type Unknown returning "selfhosted" instead of "unknown"
- Fix inverted shouldPush condition in push.go
* [client] Add InfluxDB metrics backend alongside VictoriaMetrics
Add influxdb.go with timestamped line protocol export for sparse
one-shot events. Restore victoria.go to use proper Prometheus
histograms. Update Grafana dashboards, add InfluxDB datasource,
and update docs.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* [client] Fix metrics issues and update dev docker setup
- Fix StopPush not clearing push state, preventing restart
- Fix race condition reading currentConnPriority without lock in recordConnectionMetrics
- Fix stale comment referencing old metrics server URL
- Update docker-compose for InfluxDB: add scoped tokens, .env config, init scripts
- Rename docker-compose.victoria.yml to docker-compose.yml
* [client] Add anonymised peer tracking to pushed metrics
Introduce peer_id and connection_pair_id tags to InfluxDB metrics.
Public keys are hashed (truncated SHA-256) for anonymisation. The
connection pair ID is deterministic regardless of which side computes
it, enabling deduplication of reconnections in the ICE vs Relay
dashboard. Also pin Grafana to v11.6.0 for file-based provisioning
and fix datasource UID references.
* Remove unused dependencies from go.mod and go.sum
* Refactor InfluxDB ingest pipeline: extract validation logic
- Move line validation logic to `validateLine` and `validateField` helper functions.
- Improve error handling with structured validation and clearer separation of concerns.
- Add stderr redirection for error messages in `create-tokens.sh`.
* Set non-root user in Dockerfile for Ingest service
* Fix Windows CI: command line too long
* Remove Victoria metrics
* Add hashed peer ID as Authorization header in metrics push
* Revert influxdb in docker compose
* Enable gzip compression and authorization validation for metrics push and ingest
* Reducate code of complexity
* Update debug documentation to include metrics.txt description
* Increase `maxBodySize` limit to 50 MB and update gzip reader wrapping logic
* Refactor deployment type detection to use URL parsing for improved accuracy
* Update readme
* Throttle remote config retries on fetch failure
* Preserve first WG handshake timestamp, ignore rekeys
* Skip adding empty metrics.txt to debug bundle in debug mode
* Update default metrics server URL to https://ingest.netbird.io
* Atomic metrics export-and-reset to prevent sample loss between Export and Reset calls
* Fix doc
* Refactor Push configuration to improve clarity and enforce minimum push interval
* Remove `minPushInterval` and update push interval validation logic
* Revert ExportAndReset, it is acceptable data loss
* Fix metrics review issues: rename env var, remove stale infra, add tests
- Rename NB_METRICS_ENABLED to NB_METRICS_PUSH_ENABLED to clarify that
collection is always active (for debug bundles) and only push is opt-in
- Change default config URL from staging to production (ingest.netbird.io)
- Delete broken Prometheus dashboard (used non-existent metric names)
- Delete unused VictoriaMetrics datasource config
- Replace committed .env with .env.example containing placeholder values
- Wire Grafana admin credentials through env vars in docker-compose
- Make metricsStages a pointer to prevent reset-vs-write race on reconnect
- Fix typed-nil interface in debug bundle path (GetClientMetrics)
- Use deterministic field order in InfluxDB Export (sorted keys)
- Replace Authorization header with X-Peer-ID for metrics push
- Fix ingest server timeout to use time.Second instead of float
- Fix gzip double-close, stale comments, trim log levels
- Add tests for influxdb.go and MetricsStages
* Add login duration metric, ingest tag validation, and duration bounds
- Add netbird_login measurement recording login/auth duration to management
server, with success/failure result tag
- Validate InfluxDB tags against per-measurement allowlists in ingest server
to prevent arbitrary tag injection
- Cap all duration fields (*_seconds) at 300s instead of only total_seconds
- Add ingest server tests for tag/field validation, bounds, and auth
* Add arch tag to all metrics
* Fix Grafana dashboard: add arch to drop columns, add login panels
* Validate NB_METRICS_SERVER_URL is an absolute HTTP(S) URL
* Address review comments: fix README wording, update stale comments
* Clarify env var precedence does not bypass remote config eligibility
* Remove accidentally committed pprof files

Replace fmt.Sprintf("%s:%d", ip, port) with net.JoinHostPort() to
properly handle IPv6 addresses that need bracket wrapping (e.g.,
[2606:4700:4700::1111]:53 instead of 2606:4700:4700::1111:53).
Without this fix, configuring IPv6 nameservers causes "too many colons
in address" errors because Go's net.Dial cannot parse the malformed
address string.

Expose MTU configuration in the embed package so embedded clients
can set the WireGuard tunnel MTU without the config file workaround.
This is needed for protocols like QUIC that require larger datagrams
than the default MTU of 1280.
Validates MTU range via iface.ValidateMTU() at construction time to
prevent invalid values from being persisted to config.
Closes#5549
Auto-update logic moved out of the UI into a dedicated updatemanager.Manager service that runs in the connection layer. The
UI no longer polls or checks for updates independently.
The update manager supports three modes driven by the management server's auto-update policy:
No policy set by mgm: checks GitHub for the latest version and notifies the user (previous behavior, now centralized)
mgm enforces update: the "About" menu triggers installation directly instead of just downloading the file — user still initiates the action
mgm forces update: installation proceeds automatically without user interaction
updateManager lifecycle is now owned by daemon, giving the daemon server direct control via a new TriggerUpdate RPC
Introduces EngineServices struct to group external service dependencies passed to NewEngine, reducing its argument count from 11 to 4
* Fix DNS probe thread safety and avoid blocking engine sync
Refactor ProbeAvailability to prevent blocking the engine's sync mutex
during slow DNS probes. The probe now derives its context from the
server's own context (s.ctx) instead of accepting one from the caller,
and uses a mutex to ensure only one probe runs at a time — new calls
cancel the previous probe before starting. Also fixes a data race in
Stop() when accessing probeCancel without the probe mutex.
* Ensure DNS probe thread safety by locking critical sections
Add proper locking to prevent data races when accessing shared resources during DNS probe execution and Stop(). Update handlers snapshot logic to avoid conflicts with concurrent writers.
* Rename context and remove redundant cancellation
* Cancel first and lock
* Add locking to ensure thread safety when reactivating upstream servers
* [client] Fix exit node menu not refreshing on Windows
TrayOpenedCh is not implemented in the systray library on Windows,
so exit nodes were never refreshed after the initial connect. Combined
with the management sync not having populated routes yet when the
Connected status fires, this caused the exit node menu to remain empty
permanently after disconnect/reconnect cycles.
Add a background poller on Windows that refreshes exit nodes while
connected, with fast initial polling to catch routes from management
sync followed by a steady 10s interval. On macOS/Linux, TrayOpenedCh
continues to handle refreshes on each tray open.
Also fix a data race on connectClient assignment in the server's connect()
method and add nil checks in CleanState/DeleteState to prevent panics
when connectClient is nil.
* Remove unused exitNodeIDs
* Remove unused exitNodeState struct
Capture engine reference before actCancel() in cleanupConnection().
After actCancel(), the connectWithRetryRuns goroutine sets engine to nil,
causing connectClient.Stop() to skip shutdown. This allows the goroutine
to set ErrResetConnection on the shared state after Down() clears it,
causing the next Up() to fail.
Increase DefaultJWTMaxTokenAge from 5 to 10 minutes to accommodate
identity providers like Azure Entra ID that backdate the iat claim
by up to 5 minutes, causing tokens to be immediately rejected.
Fixes#5449

Wrap peerStateUpdate send in a nested select to prevent goroutine
blocking when the consumer has exited, which could fill the
subscription buffer and deadlock the Status mutex.
