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.
This PR fixes issues with closing the WireGuard watcher by adjusting its asynchronous invocation and synchronization.
Update tests in wg_watcher_test.go to launch the watcher in a goroutine and add a delay for timing.
Modify wg_watcher.go to run the periodic handshake check synchronously by removing the waitGroup and goroutine.
Enhance conn.go to wait on the watcher wait group during connection close and add a note for potential further synchronization
Prevent calling the onDisconnected callback if the ICE connection has never been established
If call onDisconnected without onConnected then overwrite the relayed status in the conn priority variable.
enhances debugging capabilities by adding support for goroutine, mutex, and block profiling while updating state dump tracking and refining test and release settings.
- Adds pprof-based profiling for goroutine, mutex, and block profiles in the debug bundle.
- Updates state dump functionality by incorporating new status and key fields.
- Adjusts test validations and default flag/retention settings.
- When a peer is connected with TURN and a Relay connection is established, do not force switching to Relay. Keep using TURN until disconnection.
-In the proxy preparation phase, the Bind Proxy does not set the remote conn as a fake address for Bind. When running the Work() function, the proper proxy instance updates the conn inside the Bind.
Fix WireGuard watcher related issues
- Fix race handling between TURN and Relayed reconnection
- Move the WgWatcher logic to separate struct
- Handle timeouts in a more defensive way
- Fix initial Relay client reconnection to the home server
When the remote peer switches the Relay instance then must to close the proxy connection to the old instance.
It can cause issues when the remote peer switch connects to the Relay instance multiple times and then reconnects to an instance it had previously connected to.
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.
If a peer connection switches from Relayed to ICE P2P, the Relayed proxy still consumes the data the other peer sends. Because the proxy is operating, the WireGuard switches back to the Relayed proxy automatically, thanks to the roaming feature.
Extend the Proxy implementation with pause/resume functions. Before switching to the p2p connection, pause the WireGuard proxy operation to prevent unnecessary package sources.
Consider waiting some milliseconds after the pause to be sure the WireGuard engine already processed all UDP msg in from the pipe.
* Fix Relay disconnection handling
If has an active P2P connection meanwhile the Relay connection broken with the server then we removed the WireGuard peer configuration.
* Change logs
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
* adding peer healthcheck
* generate proto file
* fix return in udp mux and replace with continue
* use ice agent for latency checks
* fix status output
* remove some logs
* fix status test
* revert bind and ebpf code
* fix error handling on binding response callback
* extend error handling on binding response callback

sends an extra server reflexive candidate to the remote peer with our related port (usually the Wireguard port)
this is useful when a network has an existing port forwarding rule for the Wireguard port and the local peer and avoids creating a 1:1 NAT on the local network.
* 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
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.
