        ## Ideas & Feature Requests

        Use this category for feature requests, enhancements, integrations, and product ideas.

        NetBird uses community traction in discussions — upvotes, replies, affected users, and use-case detail — as an input when deciding what should become a maintainer-curated issue or roadmap item. A clear problem statement is more useful than a solution-only request.

        Please search first and add your use case to an existing discussion when one already exists.
