## Describe your changes The Agent Network policy Guardrail "Model Allowlist" was not enforced for providers whose model travels in the URL/path rather than the JSON body — most visibly AWS Bedrock (reported in netbirdio/netbird#6751), and the same class applies to Google Vertex. Root cause: the `llm_guardrail` allowlist check **failed open**. `evaluateAllowlist` returned allow whenever the request model was absent from the metadata bag (`middleware.go`, `if !modelPresent { return nil }`). The model is stamped upstream by `llm_request_parser`; for body-routed providers (OpenAI/Anthropic) it comes from the JSON body, but for path-routed providers the model is recovered only when the request matches a recognized path shape (Bedrock `/model/{id}/{invoke|converse|...}`, Vertex `/v1/projects/.../publishers/.../models/...`). Any shape the parser did not recognize reached the guardrail with no model and was allowed regardless of the allowlist. Fix (provider-agnostic): **fail closed**. When an allowlist is configured and the model cannot be determined (absent or empty), the request is denied `403` with a distinct `llm_policy.model_unknown` reason. This closes the bypass for Bedrock, Vertex, and any future URL-routed provider in one place. When no allowlist is configured, behavior is unchanged. The model allowlist is enforced solely in the proxy `llm_guardrail`; management's `CheckLLMPolicyLimits` handles only token/budget caps, so no management change is required. ## Issue ticket number and link <https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/discussions/6751> ## Stack - \#6726 <!-- branch-stack --> - \#6764 :point\_left: ### Checklist - [x] Is it a bug fix - [ ] Is a typo/documentation fix - [ ] Is a feature enhancement - [ ] It is a refactor - [x] Created tests that fail without the change (if possible) - [x] This change does **not** modify the public API, gRPC protocols, functionality behavior, CLI / service flags, or introduce a new feature — **OR** I have discussed it with the NetBird team beforehand (link the issue / Slack thread in the description). See [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#discuss-changes-with-the-netbird-team-first). > By submitting this pull request, you confirm that you have read and agree to the terms of the [Contributor License Agreement](https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/blob/main/CONTRIBUTOR_LICENSE_AGREEMENT.md). ## Documentation Select exactly one: - [ ] I added/updated documentation for this change - [x] Documentation is **not needed** for this change (explain why) Bug fix that restores the documented allowlist behavior; no user-facing surface changes. ### Docs PR URL (required if "docs added" is checked) Paste the PR link from <https://github.com/netbirdio/docs> here: <https://github.com/netbirdio/docs/pull/>\_\_ ## Tests - `llm_guardrail`: absent/empty model under a configured allowlist now denies (`model_unknown`); empty allowlist still allows a missing model (fail-closed only applies when a list is set); existing allow/deny/case-insensitive cases retained. - `llm_request_parser`: new parser→guardrail integration test drives real **Bedrock** (`/model/{id}/invoke`) and **Vertex** (`/v1/projects/.../models/...`) URL shapes and asserts allowed→200, disallowed→403 (`model_blocked`), and an unrecognized Bedrock action→403 (`model_unknown`, the #6751 regression guard). Note: a full through-tunnel e2e for the allowlist is intentionally deferred — the agent-network e2e (`WaitProxyPeer`) is currently red on `main`/`0.74.x` for an unrelated lazy-connection reason; it will be added once that harness gate is fixed.
Netbird Reverse Proxy
The NetBird Reverse Proxy is a separate service that can act as a public entrypoint to certain resources within a NetBird network. At a high level, the way that it operates is:
- Configured routes are communicated from the Management server to the proxy.
- For each route the proxy creates a NetBird connection to the NetBird Peer that hosts the resource.
- When traffic hits the proxy at the address and path configured for the proxied resource, the NetBird Proxy brings up a relevant authentication method for that resource.
- On successful authentication the proxy will forward traffic onwards to the NetBird Peer.
Proxy Authentication methods supported are:
- No authentication
- Oauth2/OIDC
- Emailed Magic Link
- Simple PIN
- HTTP Basic Auth Username and Password
Management Connection and Authentication
The Proxy communicates with the Management server over a gRPC connection. Proxies act as clients to the Management server, the following RPCs are used:
- Server-side streaming for proxied service updates.
- Client-side streaming for proxy logs.
To authenticate with the Management server, the proxy server uses Machine-to-Machine OAuth2. If you are using the embedded IdP //TODO: explain how to get credentials. Otherwise, create a new machine-to-machine profile in your IdP for proxy servers and set the relevant settings in the proxy's environment or flags (see below).
User Authentication
When a request hits the Proxy, it looks up the permitted authentication methods for the Host domain. If no authentication methods are registered for the Host domain, then no authentication will be applied (for fully public resources). If any authentication methods are registered for the Host domain, then the Proxy will first serve an authentication page allowing the user to select an authentication method (from the permitted methods) and enter the required information for that authentication method. If the user is successfully authenticated, their request will be forwarded through to the Proxy to be proxied to the relevant Peer. Successful authentication does not guarantee a successful forwarding of the request as there may be failures behind the Proxy, such as with Peer connectivity or the underlying resource.
TLS
Due to the authentication provided, the Proxy uses HTTPS for its endpoint, even if the underlying service is HTTP.
Certificate generation can either be via ACME (by default, using Let's Encrypt, but alternative ACME providers can be used) or through certificate files.
When not using ACME, the proxy server attempts to load a certificate and key from the files tls.crt and tls.key in a specified certificate directory.
When using ACME, the proxy server will store generated certificates in the specified certificate directory.
Auth UI
The authentication UI is a Vite + React application located in the web/ directory. It is embedded into the Go binary at build time.
To build the UI:
cd web
npm install
npm run build
For UI development with hot reload (served at http://localhost:3031):
npm run dev
The built assets in web/dist/ are embedded via //go:embed and served by the web.ServeHTTP handler.
