Log engine.Stop() errors during cleanupConnection instead of returning
early, so beginDown always reaches finishDown and the daemon is restored
to Idle. Return ErrServiceNotUp without an error log.
The tray Quit menu now disconnects the daemon before exiting instead of
only tearing down the GUI. A new DownAsync RPC lets the daemon start the
teardown and return immediately: beginDown cancels the connection under
the mutex (so it cannot reconnect), then finishDown (the retry-goroutine
wait and status reset) runs on a background goroutine. handleQuit aborts
any in-flight profile switch first (so a queued Up cannot reconnect during
teardown) and calls DownAsync so quitting never blocks on the engine
shutdown.
* Improved residual state restoration during foreground startup and
foreground login, ensuring consistent recovery with stale states.
* Foreground flows now initialize advanced routing so stale routes
are bypassed during login.
Users reported long delays between finishing browser authentication and
the client connecting. Logs could not attribute the time: the PKCE and
device flows were silent between issuing the auth URL and returning the
token, and nothing recorded when the GUI issued the Up request after
WaitSSOLogin completed.
Add log lines covering the full chain: PKCE callback arrival and token
exchange duration, device-flow polling and approval timing, GUI-side
brackets around WaitSSOLogin and Up, daemon-side Up arrival and
WaitSSOLogin return, and a frontend stall detector that reports when
webview timers were suspended (macOS App Nap / hidden-window
throttling), which delays the WaitSSOLogin-to-Up handoff.
- **Wails v3 application** (`client/ui`) with a React + TypeScript + Tailwind frontend replacing the Fyne UI: main connection view, exit-node switcher, networks/peers browser with detail panels, profile management, settings (general, network, SSH, security, troubleshooting, appearance), debug-bundle creation, and a first-run welcome flow.
- **Internationalization**: go-i18n bundle with 9 locales (en, de, es, fr, hu, it, pt, ru, zh-CN) shared between the tray and the frontend.
- **New system tray** implementation with per-platform theme-aware icons, including a native XEmbed host for Linux (`xembed_tray_linux.c`) and a Linux theme watcher.
- **Session handling**: auth session watcher (`client/internal/auth/sessionwatch`), pending login flow, session-expiration dialog and tray notifications, and `netbird login` improvements.
- **Daemon API extensions** (`daemon.proto`): status stream subscription, event stream, networks/exit-node selection endpoints, and richer full status — with probe throttling on the daemon side to protect against UI-driven request storms.
- **UI preferences store** persisted per profile, autostart management via the daemon (single source of truth in HKCU on Windows).
- **Build system**: Taskfile-based builds per platform (macOS, Linux, Windows), Docker cross-compilation images, MSIX/NSIS/nfpm/AppImage packaging, and a new `frontend-ui` CI workflow.

* [client] always clean up on Engine.Start failure via defer
The rosenpass init paths (NewManager/Run) returned without calling
e.close(), leaking the WireGuard interface and other partially
initialized state on failure. Per-branch cleanup was easy to miss when
adding new early returns.
Convert Start to a named error return and tear down via a single defer
that calls e.close() whenever err != nil, removing the scattered
per-branch close() calls (including the redundant one in initFirewall).
* [client] make Engine single-use and guard against double Start
Create the run context once in NewEngine instead of in Start. This
keeps e.cancel valid for the engine's whole lifetime, so Stop can
cancel a Start that is blocked waiting on the network while holding
syncMsgMux: Stop now cancels before taking the lock, unblocking that
Start so it can release the mutex.
Reject re-entry into Start: a non-nil wgInterface means a prior Start
already ran (ErrEngineAlreadyStarted), and a cancelled run context
means the engine was stopped (ErrEngineAlreadyStopped). Both checks run
before the cleanup defer so a duplicate call cannot tear down the
running engine's state.
* [client] let engine context unblock WaitStreamConnected
WaitStreamConnected only watched the signal client's own context, which
derives from the parent engineCtx rather than the engine's run context.
A Start blocked here (signal stream not yet up) could therefore not be
released by Engine.Stop, since Stop only cancels the engine's run
context.
Pass a context into WaitStreamConnected and select on it too, and have
the engine pass e.ctx, so Stop cancelling e.ctx unblocks a parked Start.
Update the Client interface, the mock, and callers accordingly.
* [client] fix Start/Stop race by making the run loop own engine shutdown
ConnectClient.Stop stopped the engine directly while the run loop's
backoff cycle could still be starting an engine, so Engine.close raced
Engine.Start (e.g. firewall setup reading wgInterface while close nils
it). embed.Client.Start's rollback only avoided a deadlock by cancelling
before Stop; the race itself remained and was caught by -race.
Make the run loop the sole owner of engine shutdown: derive the run
context in NewConnectClient, and have Stop cancel it and wait for the
loop to exit (skipping the wait when the loop never ran) instead of
calling engine.Stop. The loop now always stops the engine on its way
out, dropping the unsynchronised wgInterface check it used to guard that
call. Self-calls from within the loop use runCancel to avoid waiting on
themselves.
embed keeps a defensive pre-Stop cancel(); the daemon's cleanupConnection
gets a TODO to adopt Stop() rather than stopping the engine in parallel.
* [client] init context state in engine tests
Engine tests built the engine context with context.WithCancel(
context.Background()), omitting CtxInitState. Now that the run context
is created in the constructor, the wgIfaceMonitor goroutine can reach
triggerClientRestart during teardown, which calls CtxGetState and
panics on the missing state. Real entry points (up, embed, service)
always CtxInitState; only the tests skipped it.
* [client] interrupt connect backoff on context cancel
The run loop retried with a raw ExponentialBackOff, so a backoff sleep
ignored context cancellation. Now that ConnectClient.Stop waits for the
run loop to exit, a cancel landing during a sleep would block Stop for
the full interval (up to MaxInterval). Wrap the backoff with the run
context so Retry returns promptly on cancel; the retry budget itself
(MaxElapsedTime) is unchanged.
* [client] bound WaitStreamConnected in signal client tests
The tests waited on WaitStreamConnected with context.Background() and the
client's own context was also Background, so a stream that never connects
would hang until the suite timeout. Pass a 5s timeout context and assert
StreamConnected afterwards so the tests fail fast with a clear reason.
* [client] fix WaitStreamConnected stale-channel race
The StreamConnected check and the wait-channel creation took the mutex
separately, so notifyStreamConnected could set the status and close/clear
connectedCh in between: the waiter then created a fresh channel nobody
would ever close and blocked forever. Also, the status read was unlocked
while notify wrote it under the mutex (a data race). Do the check and the
channel fetch in one locked section; drop the now-unused
getStreamStatusChan helper. Pre-existing bug, not introduced by this branch.
* [client] abort Start if context cancelled while waiting for signal stream
receiveSignalEvents blocks in WaitStreamConnected until the signal stream
connects or the context is cancelled. If Stop cancelled e.ctx while Start
was parked there, Start kept going: it started the remaining subsystems on
a cancelled context and marked a shutting-down engine as started. Return
the context error from receiveSignalEvents and propagate it from Start, so
the deferred cleanup runs and the cancellation reaches the caller.
* [client] clean up all started components on Start failure
Start's failure defer only called close(), which covers the wg interface,
firewall, rosenpass and port forwarding but leaves connMgr, srWatcher,
route/DNS/flow/state managers and the monitor goroutines running. A late
failure (e.g. the context-cancelled check after the signal stream) thus
leaked them.
Extract Stop's locked teardown into stopLocked (caller holds syncMsgMux,
does not wait on shutdownWg) and call it from both Stop and Start's defer.
The defer also cancels the run context first so goroutines started before
the failure unwind. Teardown order is unchanged.

UI sends full config snapshot with all values. It doesn't
make sense to block it if the values are aligned with the
values constrained by the MDM policy. It's just simplier
to allow values that are compliant. (this goes for the CLI
as well at this point)

* Fixup presharedkey
* Apply MDM locks
* Toggle gray in/out for Advanced Settings
* Adds support for disabling of Profiles and UpdateSettings feature flags
* Adds Gate Login as well when --disable-update-settings=true is given to service
This commit tries to settle things with an old PR-4237 which had relaxed
the case where the SetConfig returned an `Unavailable` code error.
Under this circumnstance the PR allowed the upFunc to just emit a warning and
progress further with the login gRPC. Since the login call is consuming
the --management-url coming from the `up` command, it might be possible
to abuse the "Unavailable" code to inject a management URL that is different
from the configured one even though the --disable-update-settings is set
to true (?)
* Evaluate disable-update-settings errors only when there's an actual override
* [UI] Fixup advanced Settings
* [UI] Fixup for preshared key

* Avoid locking on clientRunning bool when the connection is aborted for whatever reason
We want to just signal this through the giveUpChan, we will manage the signal from
the waiter side and in case set it to false there. THis way we avoid locking,
which should allow the MDM down+wait_for_term_chan_signal_+up procedure
clientRunning is used to signal two different conditions here:
1. the initialization procedure is over (we have an engine)
2. the connection being up (or being attempted)
Probably these two functionalities should not alias, and the failure of the second condition
(because of any error) should just drive a reconnection (currently it's not happening,
and we silently go idle).
OR, mor probably, the two things are the SAME and there should not exist a case where
we did the "Up" initialization and connection attempt but we are not still attempting it.
* Moves test helper at te very bottom
* Addresses github comments
* No lock no copy
* Prevents engine not stopping within 10 secs from being paired by another instance
We instead juts SKIP updating the policy, so
1. the MDM ticker will kick in 1 minute time,
2. find the policy misaligned,
3. enter the onMDMPolicyChange,
4. find the s.clientRunning == true
(because it is set to false only in server cleanupConnection,
and not by s.actCancel())
5. call s.actCancel() again if not nil
6. immediately return from <-s.clientGiveUpChan
7. finally call s.restartEngineForMDMLocked()
* Since we ARE running there should be a config
If the config was cancelled midflight, connect will abort later on
* DisableAutoConnect should not stop a running connection.
DisableAutoConnect should just avoid the connection attempts *when the service starts*.
If we are started and we are up and running, DisableAutoConnect should not kick in.
Another PR will follow about this topic
* Removes unused vars
* Moves callback into Run method arg
* align comment to removal of DisableAutoConnect
DisableAutoConnect should just avoid the connection attempts *when the service starts*.
If we are started and we are up and running, DisableAutoConnect should not kick in
* Removes unused managed_fields data.
This was initially used to drive the UI but approach changed
to reload config/features upon notifications which makes this data redundant.
* Reorder stuff
* Unexport unrequired vars/functions
PoliciesEqual → policiesEqual
AllKeys → allKeys
* Adds list of MDM managed fields in the debug bundle
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
* [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.
Up() acquired s.mutex with a deferred unlock, then called waitForUp()
while still holding the lock. waitForUp() blocks for up to 50 seconds
waiting on clientRunningChan/clientGiveUpChan, starving all concurrent
gRPC calls that require the same mutex (Status, ListProfiles, etc.).
Replace the deferred unlock with explicit s.mutex.Unlock() on every
early-return path and immediately before waitForUp(), matching the
pattern already used by the clientRunning==true branch.
CLI: new expose command to publish a local port with flags for PIN, password, user groups, custom domain, name prefix and protocol (HTTP default).
Management/API: create/renew/stop expose sessions (streamed status), automatic naming/domain, TTL renewals, background expiration, new management RPCs and client methods.
UI/API: account settings now include peer_expose_enabled and peer_expose_groups; new activity codes for peer expose events.
could interleave with a sleep/wake event causing out-of-order state
transitions. The mutex now covers the full duration of each handler
including the status check, the Up/Down call, and the flag update.
Note: if Up or Down commands are triggered in parallel with sleep/wake
events, the overall ordering of up/down/sleep/wake operations is still
not guaranteed beyond what the mutex provides within the handler itself.

- Refactoring device flow and PKCE flow implementations
- Updating iOS/Android/server code to use new auth client API
* Refactor PKCE auth and login methods
- Remove unnecessary internal package reference in PKCE flow test
- Adjust context assignment placement in iOS and Android login methods
When Down() and Up() are called in quick succession, the connectWithRetryRuns goroutine could set ErrResetConnection after Down() had cleared the state, causing the subsequent Up() to fail.
Fix by waiting for the goroutine to exit (via clientGiveUpChan) before Down() returns. Uses a 5-second timeout to prevent RPC timeouts while ensuring the goroutine completes in most cases.
- Connect on daemon start only if the file existed before
- fixed a bug that happened when the default profile config was removed, which would recreate it and reset the active profile to the default.
* Fix engine shutdown deadlock and message handling races
- Release syncMsgMux before waiting for shutdownWg to prevent deadlock
- Check context inside lock in handleSync and receiveSignalEvents

Adds a new NotifyOSLifecycle RPC and server handler to centralize OS sleep/wake handling, introduces Server.sleepTriggeredDown for coordination, updates client UI to call the new RPC, and adjusts the internal sleep event enum zero-value semantics.
The status cmd will not be blocked by the ICE probe
Refactor the TURN and STUN probe, and cache the results. The NetBird status command will indicate a "checking…" state.
This PR improves the NetBird client's status checking mechanism by implementing earlier detection of client state changes and better handling of connection lifecycle management. The key improvements focus on:
• Enhanced status detection - Added waitForReady option to StatusRequest for improved client status handling
• Better connection management - Improved context handling for signal and management gRPC connections• Reduced connection timeouts - Increased gRPC dial timeout from 3 to 10 seconds for better reliability
• Cleaner error handling - Enhanced error propagation and context cancellation in retry loops
Key Changes
Core Status Improvements:
- Added waitForReady optional field to StatusRequest proto (daemon.proto:190)
- Enhanced status checking logic to detect client state changes earlier in the connection process
- Improved handling of client permanent exit scenarios from retry loops
Connection & Context Management:
- Fixed context cancellation in management and signal client retry mechanisms
- Added proper context propagation for Login operations
- Enhanced gRPC connection handling with better timeout management
Error Handling & Cleanup:
- Moved feedback channels to upper layers for better separation of concerns
- Improved error handling patterns throughout the client server implementation
- Fixed synchronization issues and removed debug logging
The client status is not enough to protect the RPC calls from concurrency issues, because it is handled internally in the client in an asynchronous way.
* Add support for disabling profiles feature via command line flag
* Add profiles disabling flag to service command
* Refactor profile menu initialization and enhance error notifications in event handlers
