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.
The "runningChan" provides feedback to the UI or any client about whether the service is up and running. If the client exits earlier than when the service successfully starts, then this channel causes a block.
- Added timeout for reading the channel to ensure we don't cause blocks for too long for the caller
- Modified channel writing operations to be non-blocking

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
wait on engine down to not only wait for the interface to be down but completely removed. If the waiting loop reaches the timeout we will trigger an interface destroy. On the up command, it now waits until the engine is fully running before sending the response to the CLI. Includes a small refactor of probes to comply with sonar rules about parameter count in the function call
* Add additional configuration options to client UI
* add quick settings options
* Remove unused UI elements and client options
* Add additional config properties to daemon protocol
This update extends the daemon protocol to include new configuration properties: interfaceName, wireguardPort, disableAutoConnect, serverSSHAllowed, rosenpassEnabled, and rosenpassPermissive.
* Refactor UI client settings and restart process
* Fix disable connect option while connecting
* 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.

This changes the default behavior for new peers, by requiring the agent to be executed with allow-server-ssh set to true in order for the management configuration to take effect.
With these changes, the command up supports the flag --disable-auto-connect that allows users to disable auto connection on the client after a computer restart or when the daemon restarts.
* 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
* replace the preshared key attribute in LoginRequest protobuff with an optional replacement
* mark old field as deprecated
* fix ui client to also keep preshared key
This PR aims to integrate Rosenpass with NetBird. It adds a manager for Rosenpass that starts a Rosenpass server and handles the managed peers. It uses the cunicu/go-rosenpass implementation. Rosenpass will then negotiate a pre-shared key every 2 minutes and apply it to the wireguard connection.
The Feature can be enabled by setting a flag during the netbird up --enable-rosenpass command.
If two peers are both support and have the Rosenpass feature enabled they will create a post-quantum secure connection. If one of the peers or both don't have this feature enabled or are running an older version that does not have this feature yet, the NetBird client will fall back to a plain Wireguard connection without pre-shared keys for those connections (keeping Rosenpass negotiation for the rest).
Additionally, this PR includes an update of all Github Actions workflows to use go version 1.21.0 as this is a requirement for the integration.

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
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.
