Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/issues/3105

Im trying to setup netbird between my server and my desktop.

At one point i managed to get name lookup working.

In ACL i have devs <-> server, icmp enabled
cant ping. server has no firewall up blocking.

i also have devs -> server, tcp ports 8888, 22 enabled

Nameserver is quad 9.
Both sides has Quantum enabled

No routes

(server(x=3) and client(x=11) is on 192.168.88.x, same lan at home), i can ping using 192.168.88.x, and ssh.

On the server port 8888 is bound to localhost on the webserver-config

Not sure what i am missing and where to "go next".

Both server and client is on debian 12 bookworm.
"netbird ssh " does not work either.

Found another post that said

netbird down
netbird up --allow-server-ssh

when i ran it, i can now both ping and ssh, and i had previously started the servers netbird with --allow-server-ssh.

And found it.

Turned out that tailscaled still was running in the background holding a bunch of ports, now disabled and everything seems to work, so far.
