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.

* Pin actions with SHA, replace unmaintained, add dependabot for actions
* Update FreeBSD to version 15 for tests
* Use shared actions
* Update sign-pipelines version
* 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
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.
* Consolidate authentication logic
- Moving auth functions from client/internal to client/internal/auth package
- Creating unified auth.Auth client with NewAuth() constructor
- Replacing direct auth function calls with auth client methods
- 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
* Add OAuth select_account prompt support to PKCE flow
Extends LoginFlag enum with select_account options to enable
multi-account selection during authentication. This allows users
to choose which account to use when multiple accounts have active
sessions with the identity provider.
The new flags are backward compatible - existing LoginFlag values
(0=prompt login, 1=max_age=0) retain their original behavior.
* Add gocritic linter
`gocritic` provides diagnostics that check for bugs, performance, and style issues
We disable the following checks:
- commentFormatting
- captLocal
- deprecatedComment
This PR contains many `//nolint:gocritic` to disable `appendAssign`.
added intergration with JumpCloud User API. Use the steps in setup.md for configuration.
Additional changes:
- Enhance compatibility for providers that lack audience support in the Authorization Code Flow and the Authorization - - Code Flow with Proof Key for Code Exchange (PKCE) using NETBIRD_DASH_AUTH_USE_AUDIENCE=falseenv
- Verify tokens by utilizing the client ID when audience support is absent in providers
The use of reflection should generally be minimized in Go code because
it can make the code less readable, less type-safe, and potentially slower.
In this particular case we can simply rely on type switch.
* shutdown the pkce server on user cancellation
* Refactor openURL to exclusively manage authentication flow instructions and browser launching
* Refactor authentication flow initialization based on client OS
The NewOAuthFlow method now first checks the operating system and if it is a non-desktop Linux, it opts for Device Code Flow. PKCEFlow is tried first and if it fails, then it falls back on Device Code Flow. If both unsuccessful, the authentication process halts and error messages have been updated to provide more helpful feedback for troubleshooting authentication errors
* Replace log-based Linux desktop check with process check
To verify if a Linux OS is running a desktop environment in the Authentication utility, the log-based method that checks the XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP env has been replaced with a method that checks directly if either X or Wayland display server processes are running. This method is more reliable as it directly checks for the display server process rather than relying on an environment variable that may not be set in all desktop environments.
* Refactor PKCE Authorization Flow to improve server handling
* refactor check for linux running desktop environment
* Improve server shutdown handling and encapsulate handlers with new server multiplexer
The changes enhance the way the server shuts down by specifying a context with timeout of 5 seconds, adding a safeguard to ensure the server halts even on potential hanging requests. Also, the server's root handler is now encapsulated within a new ServeMux instance, to support multiple registrations of a path
Switches the order of initialization in the OAuth flow within
the NewOAuthFlow method. Instead of initializing the
Device Authorization Flow first, it now initializes
the PKCE Authorization Flow first, and falls back
to the Device Authorization Flow if the PKCE initialization fails.
Enhance the user experience by enabling authentication to Netbird using Single Sign-On (SSO) with any Identity Provider (IDP) provider. Current client offers this capability through the Device Authorization Flow, however, is not widely supported by many IDPs, and even some that do support it do not provide a complete verification URL.
To address these challenges, this pull request enable Authorization Code Flow with Proof Key for Code Exchange (PKCE) for client logins, which is a more widely adopted and secure approach to facilitate SSO with various IDP providers.
