The new functionality allows blocking a user in the Management service. Blocked users lose access to the Dashboard, aren't able to modify the network map, and all of their connected devices disconnect and are set to the "login expired" state. Technically all above was achieved with the updated PUT /api/users endpoint, that was extended with the is_blocked field. |

NetBird is an open-source VPN management platform built on top of WireGuard® making it easy to create secure private networks for your organization or home.
It requires zero configuration effort leaving behind the hassle of opening ports, complex firewall rules, VPN gateways, and so forth.
NetBird uses NAT traversal techniques to automatically create an overlay peer-to-peer network connecting machines regardless of location (home, office, data center, container, cloud, or edge environments), unifying virtual private network management experience.
Key features:
-
x] Automatic IP allocation and network management with a Web UI ([separate repo](https://github.com/netbirdio/dashboard)) -
x] Automatic WireGuard peer (machine) discovery and configuration. -
x] Encrypted peer-to-peer connections without a central VPN gateway. -
x] Connection relay fallback in case a peer-to-peer connection is not possible. -
x] Desktop client applications for Linux, MacOS, and Windows (systray). -
x] Multiuser support - sharing network between multiple users. -
x] SSO and MFA support. -
x] Multicloud and hybrid-cloud support. -
x] Kernel WireGuard usage when possible. -
x] Access Controls - groups & rules. -
x] Remote SSH access without managing SSH keys. -
x] Network Routes. -
x] Private DNS. -
x] Network Activity Monitoring.
Coming soon:
-
] Mobile clients.

A bit on NetBird internals
- Every machine in the network runs NetBird Agent (or Client) that manages WireGuard.
- Every agent connects to Management Service that holds network state, manages peer IPs, and distributes network updates to agents (peers).
- NetBird agent uses WebRTC ICE implemented in pion/ice library to discover connection candidates when establishing a peer-to-peer connection between machines.
- Connection candidates are discovered with a help of STUN servers.
- Agents negotiate a connection through Signal Service passing p2p encrypted messages with candidates.
- Sometimes the NAT traversal is unsuccessful due to strict NATs (e.g. mobile carrier-grade NAT) and p2p connection isn't possible. When this occurs the system falls back to a relay server called TURN, and a secure WireGuard tunnel is established via the TURN server.
Coturn is the one that has been successfully used for STUN and TURN in NetBird setups.
See a complete architecture overview for details.

Support acknowledgement
In November 2022, NetBird joined the StartUpSecure program sponsored by The Federal Ministry of Education and Research of The Federal Republic of Germany. Together with CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security NetBird brings the security best practices and simplicity to private networking.
Testimonials
We use open-source technologies like WireGuard®, Pion ICE (WebRTC), and Coturn. We very much appreciate the work these guys are doing and we'd greatly appreciate if you could support them in any way (e.g. giving a star or a contribution).
