- **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.

* Restores behavior to create profile if not there on Up
* Allows to restore nerbird status showing of the profile name
* [client] Reduce upFunc cognitive complexity
Extract the profile switch/auto-create logic from upFunc into a dedicated
switchOrCreateProfile helper. The inlined NotFound-retry branch pushed
upFunc over SonarCloud's cognitive complexity threshold (S3776).
No behavior change.

* [client] Make up --profile auto-create idempotent under concurrent runs
Don't fail switchOrCreateProfile on a createProfile error: a concurrent
run may create the profile between the NotFound check and our create
call. Retry the switch regardless and only surface the create error if
the switch also fails. Addresses CodeRabbit race-condition feedback.

* Share createProfile with addProfileFunc
* But allow conn reusage
* moves switchOrCreateProfile to where it's used

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 will allow running netbird commands (including debugging) against the daemon and provide a flow similar to non-container usages.
It will by default both log to file and stderr so it can be handled more uniformly in container-native environments.
introduces a new flag --filter-by-connection-type to the status command.
It allows users to filter peers by connection type (P2P or Relayed) in both JSON and detailed views.
Input validation is added in parseFilters() to ensure proper usage, and --detail is auto-enabled if no output format is specified (consistent with other filters).
This PR implements a feature enhancement to display a login popup when the session expires. Key changes include updating flag handling and client construction to support a new login URL popup, revising login and notification handling logic to use the new popup, and updating status and server-side session state management accordingly.
With the lazy connection feature, the peer will connect to target peers on-demand. The trigger can be any IP traffic.
This feature can be enabled with the NB_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_LAZY_CONN environment variable.
When the engine receives a network map, it binds a free UDP port for every remote peer, and the system configures WireGuard endpoints for these ports. When traffic appears on a UDP socket, the system removes this listener and starts the peer connection procedure immediately.
Key changes
Fix slow netbird status -d command
Move from engine.go file to conn_mgr.go the peer connection related code
Refactor the iface interface usage and moved interface file next to the engine code
Add new command line flag and UI option to enable feature
The peer.Conn struct is reusable after it has been closed.
Change connection states
Connection states
Idle: The peer is not attempting to establish a connection. This typically means it's in a lazy state or the remote peer is expired.
Connecting: The peer is actively trying to establish a connection. This occurs when the peer has entered an active state and is continuously attempting to reach the remote peer.
Connected: A successful peer-to-peer connection has been established and communication is active.
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
* compile client under freebsd (#1620)
Compile netbird client under freebsd and now support netstack and userspace modes.
Refactoring linux specific code to share same code with FreeBSD, move to *_unix.go files.
Not implemented yet:
Kernel mode not supported
DNS probably does not work yet
Routing also probably does not work yet
SSH support did not tested yet
Lack of test environment for freebsd (dedicated VM for github runners under FreeBSD required)
Lack of tests for freebsd specific code
info reporting need to review and also implement, for example OS reported as GENERIC instead of FreeBSD (lack of FreeBSD icon in management interface)
Lack of proper client setup under FreeBSD
Lack of FreeBSD port/package
* Add DNS routes (#1943)
Given domains are resolved periodically and resolved IPs are replaced with the new ones. Unless the flag keep_route is set to true, then only new ones are added.
This option is helpful if there are long-running connections that might still point to old IP addresses from changed DNS records.
* Add process posture check (#1693)
Introduces a process posture check to validate the existence and active status of specific binaries on peer systems. The check ensures that files are present at specified paths, and that corresponding processes are running. This check supports Linux, Windows, and macOS systems.

* Adds management, signal, and relay (STUN/TURN) health probes to the status command.
* Adds a reason when the management or signal connections are disconnected.
* Adds last wireguard handshake and received/sent bytes per peer
Users can filter status based on peers fully qualified names.
e.g., netbird status -d --filter-by-names peer-a,peer-b.netbird.cloud
enable detailed info when using only filter flags
* 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`.
This PR showcases the implementation of additional linter rules. I've updated the golangci-lint GitHub Actions to the latest available version. This update makes sure that the tool works the same way locally - assuming being updated regularly - and with the GitHub Actions.
I've also taken care of keeping all the GitHub Actions up to date, which helps our code stay current. But there's one part, goreleaser that's a bit tricky to test on our computers. So, it's important to take a close look at that.
To make it easier to understand what I've done, I've made separate changes for each thing that the new linters found. This should help the people reviewing the changes see what's going on more clearly. Some of the changes might not be obvious at first glance.
Things to consider for the future
CI runs on Ubuntu so the static analysis only happens for Linux. Consider running it for the rest: Darwin, Windows
Adding --external-ip-map and --dns-resolver-address to up command and shorthand option to global flags.
Refactor get and read config functions with new ConfigInput type.
updated cobra package to latest release.
