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.
fixes the Rosenpass preshared key handling to enable successful WireGuard handshakes when one side is in permissive mode. Key changes include:
Updating field accesses from RosenpassPubKey/RosenpassAddr to RosenpassConfig.PubKey/RosenpassConfig.Addr.
Modifying the preshared key computation logic to account for permissive mode.
Revising peer configuration in the Engine to use the new RosenpassConfig struct.
In the case of user space WireGuard mode, use in-memory proxy between the TURN/Relay connection and the WireGuard Bind. We keep the UDP proxy and eBPF proxy for kernel mode.
The key change is the new wgproxy/bind and the iface/bind/ice_bind changes. Everything else is just to fulfill the dependencies.
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
EBPF proxy between TURN (relay) and WireGuard to reduce number of used ports used by the NetBird agent.
- Separate the wg configuration from the proxy logic
- In case if eBPF type proxy has only one single proxy instance
- In case if the eBPF is not supported fallback to the original proxy Implementation
Between the signature of eBPF type proxy and original proxy has
differences so this is why the factory structure exists
This PR brings support of a shared port between stun (ICE agent) and
the kernel WireGuard
It implements a single port mode for execution with kernel WireGuard
interface using a raw socket listener.
BPF filters ensure that only STUN packets hit the NetBird userspace app
Removed a lot of the proxy logic and direct mode exchange.
Now we are doing an extra hole punch to the remote WireGuard
port for best-effort cases and support to old client's direct mode.
This PR adds supports for the WireGuard userspace implementation
using Bind interface from wireguard-go.
The newly introduced ICEBind struct implements Bind with UDPMux-based
structs from pion/ice to handle hole punching using ICE.
The core implementation was taken from StdBind of wireguard-go.
The result is a single WireGuard port that is used for host and server reflexive candidates.
Relay candidates are still handled separately and will be integrated in the following PRs.
ICEBind checks the incoming packets for being STUN or WireGuard ones
and routes them to UDPMux (to handle hole punching) or to WireGuard respectively.
On Android, because of the hard SELinux policies can not list the
interfaces of the ICE package. Without it can not generate a host type
candidate. In this pull request, the list of interfaces comes via the Java
interface.
Fix the status indication in the client service. The status of the
management server and the signal server was incorrect if the network
connection was broken. Basically the status update was not used by
the management and signal library.
Before defining if we will use direct or proxy connection we will exchange a
message with the other peer if the modes match we keep the decision
from the shouldUseProxy function otherwise we skip using direct connection.
Added a feature support message to the signal protocol
The ConnStatus is a custom type based on iota
like an enum. The problem was nowhere used to the
benefits of this implementation. All ConnStatus
instances has been compared with strings. I
suppose the reason to do it to avoid a circle
dependency. In this commit the separated status
package has been moved to peer package.
Remove unused, exported functions from engine
Added additional common blacklisted interfaces
Updated the signal protocol to pass the peer port and netbird version
