I want to route all internet traffic from my android phone (P) to an alpine server (S).
But it only work if add a pointless policie.

  • I created a vpn group and add P
  • i go to peers->S
  • setup S as exit node with distribution groups: vpn
  • start netbird on P. At resource no exit node is show. Also S is not show as peer
  • add pointless policie: P---udp:9999-->S
  • S is now show as peer at P (how expected), but the exit node P is now also available

if i remove the udp policies again peer/exit-node are gone again.

This looks not like the desire behavior. Adding this policie should not influence if P is used as exit node.

S os: Alpine Linux 3.23.0
S netbird version: 0.60.5 (via alpine package)
M os: Android 16
M netbird version: 0.60.6 / v0.2.4 (51)
selfhosted v2.23.0 via docker
