* [client] Suppress ICE signaling and periodic offers in force-relay mode
When NB_FORCE_RELAY is enabled, skip WorkerICE creation entirely,
suppress ICE credentials in offer/answer messages, disable the
periodic ICE candidate monitor, and fix isConnectedOnAllWay to
only check relay status so the guard stops sending unnecessary offers.
* [client] Dynamically suppress ICE based on remote peer's offer credentials
Track whether the remote peer includes ICE credentials in its
offers/answers. When remote stops sending ICE credentials, skip
ICE listener dispatch, suppress ICE credentials in responses, and
exclude ICE from the guard connectivity check. When remote resumes
sending ICE credentials, re-enable all ICE behavior.
* [client] Fix nil SessionID panic and force ICE teardown on relay-only transition
Fix nil pointer dereference in signalOfferAnswer when SessionID is nil
(relay-only offers). Close stale ICE agent immediately when remote peer
stops sending ICE credentials to avoid traffic black-hole during the
ICE disconnect timeout.
* [client] Add relay-only fallback check when ICE is unavailable
Ensure the relay connection is supported with the peer when ICE is disabled to prevent connectivity issues.
* [client] Add tri-state connection status to guard for smarter ICE retry (#5828)
* [client] Add tri-state connection status to guard for smarter ICE retry
Refactor isConnectedOnAllWay to return a ConnStatus enum (Connected,
Disconnected, PartiallyConnected) instead of a boolean. When relay is
up but ICE is not (PartiallyConnected), limit ICE offers to 3 retries
with exponential backoff then fall back to hourly attempts, reducing
unnecessary signaling traffic. Fully disconnected peers continue to
retry aggressively. External events (relay/ICE disconnect, signal/relay
reconnect) reset retry state to give ICE a fresh chance.
* [client] Clarify guard ICE retry state and trace log trigger
Split iceRetryState.attempt into shouldRetry (pure predicate) and
enterHourlyMode (explicit state transition) so the caller in
reconnectLoopWithRetry reads top-to-bottom. Restore the original
trace-log behavior in isConnectedOnAllWay so it only logs on full
disconnection, not on the new PartiallyConnected state.
* [client] Extract pure evalConnStatus and add unit tests
Split isConnectedOnAllWay into a thin method that snapshots state and
a pure evalConnStatus helper that takes a connStatusInputs struct, so
the tri-state decision logic can be exercised without constructing
full Worker or Handshaker objects. Add table-driven tests covering
force-relay, ICE-unavailable and fully-available code paths, plus
unit tests for iceRetryState budget/hourly transitions and reset.
* [client] Improve grammar in logs and refactor ICE credential checks
In this PR, speed up the GRPC message processing, force the recreation of the ICE agent when getting a new, remote offer (do not wait for local STUN timeout).
This PR introduces a new inactivity package responsible for monitoring peer activity and notifying when peers become inactive.
Introduces a new Signal message type to close the peer connection after the idle timeout is reached.
Periodically checks the last activity of registered peers via a Bind interface.
Notifies via a channel when peers exceed a configurable inactivity threshold.
Default settings
DefaultInactivityThreshold is set to 15 minutes, with a minimum allowed threshold of 1 minute.
Limitations
This inactivity check does not support kernel WireGuard integration. In kernel–user space communication, the user space side will always be responsible for closing the connection.
This update adds new relay integration for NetBird clients. The new relay is based on web sockets and listens on a single port.
- Adds new relay implementation with websocket with single port relaying mechanism
- refactor peer connection logic, allowing upgrade and downgrade from/to P2P connection
- peer connections are faster since it connects first to relay and then upgrades to P2P
- maintains compatibility with old clients by not using the new relay
- updates infrastructure scripts with new relay service
