I try and connect, the VPN icon no longer shows on iPadOS and p2p services no longer work. I have tried reinstalling, rebooting, re-authenticating, everything and it won't work. Seemingly after upgrading to the latest version is when this started happening.

The app itself says connected, with my peers showing green, yet trying to load services yields nothing. Android does show the key icon, indicating a VPN connection however my android phone doesn't connect to my netbird services either.

The desktop apps still work. I can connect to my desktop peers just fine, but not my mobile peers anymore.

So a thing I noticed is that domain resolution stopped working. I could no longer connect through the assigned proxybird domains at all, the issue was deeper than I thought. Turns out I had broken it myself.

I removed "all" from "Disable DNS management for these groups" and it worked after that. Figured setting it like that would make users unable to edit my DNS settings. It appears that groups who are in it can't resolve any proxybird domains at all.
