Originally created by @SuperKali on GitHub (Mar 21, 2026).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/issues/5646
Description
After creating and later removing reverse proxy entries from the NetBird dashboard (web UI), multiple ghost "proxy" peers remain visible in
netbird status --detailpermanently stuck in "Connecting" status.These proxy peers:
GET /api/peers)systemctl restart netbird)Environment
Steps to reproduce
netbird status --detailstill shows proxy peers that were associated with the deleted proxy configurationsCurrent behavior
netbird status --detailshows 7 ghost proxy peers with hostnames matching the pattern:proxy---.
Example output:
proxy-XXXXXX-8-9.example.tun:
NetBird IP: 100.71.8.9
Status: Connecting
Connection type: -
ICE candidate (Local/Remote): -/-
Last connection update: 6 days ago
Last WireGuard handshake: -
Transfer status (received/sent) 0 B/0 B
Key observations:
GET /api/peers(17 real peers vs 7 phantom proxies)Latency: 0s, no WireGuard handshake, and 0 B transferredLast connection updatefrozen at 6+ days ago for mostsystemctl restart netbird, the proxy peers reappear immediately (re-injected via network map from management/signal server)/api/proxies,/api/reverse-proxies,/api/exposed-servicesall return 404)Expected behavior
Additional context
netbird exposeCLIproxy-related entries found injournalctl -u netbird@heymoe commented on GitHub (Mar 22, 2026):
This is likely related to #5421 that you referenced and #5398 which I believe was the first issue to report this bug. It was fixed in v0.66.0 but It's unclear if the fix retroactively clears the ghosts entries but that seems to be a no in your case.
I personally ran into this issue and before the fix and I was able to manually delete the ghost entries by removing them from the targets table in the store.db sqlite3 database Netbird server / management uses.
The general steps to remove the ghost entries manually would look something like:
sqlite3 store.db). Install sqlite3 if neededselect * from targets;. Might be good idea to change the output mode to table or column first:.mode columnso you can see what each piece of data is.delete from targets where id=###;(replace ### with the ghost target id number).quitThe tricky part might be step 1 depending on how familiar you are with docker and linux. Some options might be: convert the docker volumes to bind mounts OR exec a shell into the netbird-server (or management) container. I'm sure there might be other options but those are the ones off the top of my head. I personally went the bind mount way just for easier access and backups of all the Netbird data in general.
Definitely make a backup of your working deployment before you do any of this.
@SuperKali commented on GitHub (Mar 23, 2026):
Confirmed working on v0.66.4 (self-hosted, Docker, Linux aarch64).
A few clarifications that might help others:
The ghost peers are in the
peerstable, nottargets— the table suggested above didn't have anamecolumn in my case. The correct query is:To identify which ones are actually ghosts vs legitimate, cross-reference with
netbird status --detail(ghosts showConnecting, 0 B transferred, no WireGuard handshake) and with theservicestable — only one proxy peer per active service should exist:Then delete only the ghosts, keeping any connected one:
After
docker restart netbird-managementandsystemctl restart netbirdon the clients, the ghost peers are gone and the peer count is correct. The management server recreates legitimate proxy peers automatically.@SuperKali commented on GitHub (Mar 30, 2026):
The problem still persists; I don't know how to solve it once and for all.
@SuperKali commented on GitHub (Mar 30, 2026):
I dug into the source code and found the exact reason why ghost proxy peers accumulate.
The bug
CreateProxyPeerinmanagement/internals/shared/grpc/proxy.goalways callspeersManager.CreateProxyPeer()without checking for or cleaning up pre-existing proxy peers for the same cluster. Every time the proxy restarts it gets a new timestamped ID (e.g.netbird-proxy-20260329150431) and registers a brand-new record in thepeerstable — the old ones are never deleted.There is a
cleanupStaleProxiesgoroutine that runs every 5 minutes, but it only callsproxyManager.CleanupStale()which updates theproxiestable. Thepeerstable is never touched:This means orphaned peers in the
peerstable accumulate indefinitely with a stalepeer_status_connected = 1, because their status is only updated via WireGuard heartbeats — which obviously never come from a peer that no longer exists.Confirmed in the database
Cross-referencing
peersandproxiesmakes the ghost peers immediately identifiable:In my case this returned 3 ghost peers with
last_seen6+ days old, while the active proxy (proxies.status = connected) hadconnected_atfrom a recent restart.Suggested fix
Two possible approaches:
Option A — clean up in
CreateProxyPeerbefore inserting the new peer:Option B — extend
CleanupStaleto also remove orphaned proxy peers from thepeerstable when no active proxy exists for their cluster.Workaround (until fixed)
Followed by
docker restart netbird-management. The management server will recreate legitimate proxy peers automatically on the next proxy heartbeat.@pascal-fischer commented on GitHub (Mar 31, 2026):
So the idea is that the peers are added as ephemeral peers. You are correct that on every reboot the proxy will register new peers. The idea is that those are short lived and are being cleaned by the normal ephemeral peer cleanup (which is deleting them after they are disconnected for more than 10 min).
Next time you have some ghost proxy peers can you look into the DB and check for
ephemeral,peer_status_connectedandpeer_status_last_seen@SuperKali commented on GitHub (Apr 2, 2026):
@pascal-fischer Confirmed in DB:
Both ephemeral=1, both peer_status_connected=1.
The ghost peer never got flipped to connected=0, so the 10-min ephemeral cleanup never triggered.
@pascal-fischer commented on GitHub (Apr 7, 2026):
Hi, great. So we have an issue with the status field that we are aware of. This can also happen with regular peers as there is a race condition. We want to move to a heartbeat approach to recover the connected states. This is something we planned and will be implementing in the near future. I can not give you an exact date yet. Meanwhile cleaning in the database is the only option I fear
@SuperKali commented on GitHub (Apr 7, 2026):
The interesting thing is that you know about it and that it hasn't been forgotten; it's a real problem that needs to be solved as soon as possible.
@arjones852 commented on GitHub (Apr 30, 2026):
This is still an issue. Can confirm as a new user that started at version 0.69, I have 6 ghost peers in my list that started me down the rabbit hole of what are these and why are they there.
@SuperKali commented on GitHub (Apr 30, 2026):
The issue is still present with latest version on my side
@towerplease commented on GitHub (May 30, 2026):
Can confirm this issue on the latest version (0.71.4)
@dapru commented on GitHub (Jun 8, 2026):
Still an issue with the current version (0.72.2). Noticed it due to connection problems with android clients
@salsugair commented on GitHub (Jun 21, 2026):
Can confirm this issue on the latest version (0.73.1)
@Xury46 commented on GitHub (Jun 21, 2026):
I ran into this exact issue as well, I tried editing the store.db but it's encrypted and I decided it wasn't work potentially bricking my network. I would love to have a better way to clean this up.
@SuperKali commented on GitHub (Jun 21, 2026):
The issue still persists, hope in a fix soon, proxy table is growing on my side.
@garrettlaman commented on GitHub (Jun 26, 2026):
This issue seems to cause DNS resolution problems on Android when connecting to Netbird-Only Access services. When an Android client resolves a Netbird-Only Access proxy host, the Netbird resolver returns overlay IP addresses for the ghost proxies in addition to the active proxy.
When connecting to proxied services, apps are using the ghost overlay IP addresses instead of the active proxy IP, effectively breaking proxy functionality on Android.
In my case I'm up to 25 ghost proxies, so each DNS request is returning 25 stale IPs and the 1 active proxy IP, which is never used.
@rwtallant13 commented on GitHub (Jun 27, 2026):
Same issue here and I believe the DNS issues go beyond just on Android. On my Linux system my netbird-only access sites do not load since the DNS returns a unconnected proxy IP.
@Aurel004 commented on GitHub (Jul 1, 2026):
Got 70+ proxy-peers for me, each time Netbird restarts, it creates a new peer
@SuperKali commented on GitHub (Jul 2, 2026):
@pascal-fischer Do we have enough reports to take on this one?
