Describe the problem

We updated the management service from 0.66.0 to 0.67.2 (also tested 0.67.4) and within this upgrade a bug was introduced. Previously, if we'd change any information here:

it would trigger a Network map updated-event on all clients. Since 0.67.2 (perhaps earlier, haven't tested exactly when it was introduced) this is not the case anymore. This made it so changes to the routing peers were not properly applied on clients. We had to restart the management service to apply the changes to all clients.

We downgraded the management service back to 0.66.0 to fix the issue. Clients were not downgraded or updated and we only had to downgrade the management service to fix the issue.

The reason why we relied on this as I wanted to drain traffic from one peer, and I did not expect traffic to still flow through that peer when I was working on it - resulting in downtime due my changes.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to a Network's routing peers
  2. If you have 2 routing peers, disable one of them.

Expected behavior

I'd expect the following to appear on all clients:

  [INFO] SYSTEM (59d5313b-8b60-42e9-830a-2c0dc7b698db)
    Message: Network map updated
    Time: Now

But it does not happen. When rolling back to 0.66.0 it works again.

Are you using NetBird Cloud?

Self-hosted.

NetBird version

❯ netbird version
0.67.4

Is any other VPN software installed?

No.
