Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/issues/5974

Describe the problem

  • Two specific peers symmetrically invisible to each other in network map
  • All other peers distributed correctly to both
  • Both peers show 2/4 connected, neither sees the other

Personal Checks

  • Group membership (confirmed correct, re-added)
  • Access control policy (All → All)
  • Version mismatch (both now 0.69.0)
  • Management server stale state (upgraded + restarted)
  • Re-registration (done, assigned same groups via setup key)
  • Network conditions (reproduced on multiple networks)
  • Client routing rules (mangle table clean)

Expected behavior
Ability to access LAN features when away from home like my phone/tablet does already.
