* [client] categorize root/system-mutating tests behind a privileged build tag
Tests that need root or mutate host state (nftables/iptables/DNS, TUN/WireGuard
interfaces, routes, eBPF, SSH/service install) are now gated behind a
//go:build privileged tag. The default `go test ./client/...` runs as a non-root
user with no sudo and leaves host networking untouched; mixed files were split so
pure-logic tests stay in the default suite.
A self-hosting ory/dockertest/v4 harness (client/testutil/privileged) runs the
privileged suite inside a --privileged --cap-add=NET_ADMIN container via
`make test-privileged`; a DOCKER_CI=true guard skips the spawn when already inside
the container. Added `make test-unit` for the host-safe run.
* [client] add PRIV_RUN/PRIV_PKGS filters to the privileged test harness
The dockertest harness now reads two optional env vars when building the
in-container `go test` command: PRIV_RUN adds a -run test-name filter and
PRIV_PKGS overrides the package list. Both empty reproduce the full privileged
suite, so CI and `make test-privileged` behave as before. Lets a developer run a
single privileged test in the container, e.g.:
PRIV_RUN=TestNftablesManager PRIV_PKGS=./client/firewall/nftables/... make test-privileged
* [client] fix unused-helper lint after the privileged test split
Splitting privileged tests into *_privileged_test.go left their shared helpers in
the untagged files, so in the default (no-tag) build they had no callers and
golangci-lint flagged them as unused.
Moved the privileged-only helpers into the privileged files next to their callers
(generateDummyHandler; createEngine/startSignal/startManagement/getConnectedPeers/
getPeers + kaep/kasp; (*mockDaemon).setJWTToken). Annotated the shared routing-test
fixtures that must stay untagged for cross-platform compilation with //nolint:unused
(systemops_bsd expected* vars, ensureIPv6DefaultRoute on bsd/windows,
loopbackIfaceWindows), matching the existing linux variant.
* [client] fix privileged test CI failures and run the harness on macOS
The host-safe unit run dropped sudo but two privileged test groups were
never tagged, and the Docker privileged job silently never ran the suite:
- Gate the ssh/server PrivilegeDropper command-construction tests behind
the privileged tag (they require root to target a different UID); split
them into executor_unix_privileged_test.go.
- Tag sharedsock raw-socket tests privileged (need CAP_NET_RAW).
- Fix the Docker job command: nested single quotes around the build tags
closed the sh -c wrapper early, dropping the go list package set and the
privileged tag, so go test ran on the empty repo root. Use double quotes.
Make the self-hosting harness usable from a dev Mac:
- Build it on darwin as well as linux; it only drives Docker.
- Resolve the active docker context endpoint into DOCKER_HOST when the
default /var/run/docker.sock is absent (Docker Desktop, Colima, OrbStack).
- Rename the misspelled containerGoModache constant to containerGoModCache.

* [ci] Run privileged-tagged tests on darwin, windows and freebsd
The privileged build tag split moved root/system-mutating tests behind
//go:build privileged, but only the linux docker job was given the tag.
The native darwin (sudo), windows (PsExec64 -s) and freebsd VM runners
already have the required privileges, so add the privileged tag there too
to keep CI running the same set of tests as before the split.
* [ci] Exclude dockertest harness from the darwin privileged run
The privileged tag now compiles client/testutil/privileged on darwin, whose
TestRunPrivilegedSuiteInDocker spawns a container the macOS runner has no
Docker for. Exclude the harness package from the darwin list, matching the
linux job, so the privileged tests run in place without a container spawn.

Increase DefaultJWTMaxTokenAge from 5 to 10 minutes to accommodate
identity providers like Azure Entra ID that backdate the iat claim
by up to 5 minutes, causing tokens to be immediately rejected.

- Automatic Unix daemon address discovery: if the default socket is missing, the client can find and use a single available socket.
- Client startup now resolves daemon addresses more robustly while preserving non-Unix behavior.
* **New Features**
* SSH server JWT validation now accepts multiple audiences with backward-compatible handling of the previous single-audience setting and a guard ensuring at least one audience is configured.
* **Tests**
* Test suites updated and new tests added to cover multiple-audience scenarios and compatibility with existing behavior.
* **Other**
* Startup logging enhanced to report configured audiences for JWT auth.
Upgrade Go toolchain and golang.org/x/* deps to 1.24.10, standardize GitHub Actions to derive Go version from go.mod and adjust checkout ordering, raise WASM size limit to 55 MB, update FreeBSD tarball and gomobile refs, fix a few format-string/logging calls, treat usernames ending with $ as system accounts, and add Windows tests.
* compile client under freebsd (#1620)
Compile netbird client under freebsd and now support netstack and userspace modes.
Refactoring linux specific code to share same code with FreeBSD, move to *_unix.go files.
Not implemented yet:
Kernel mode not supported
DNS probably does not work yet
Routing also probably does not work yet
SSH support did not tested yet
Lack of test environment for freebsd (dedicated VM for github runners under FreeBSD required)
Lack of tests for freebsd specific code
info reporting need to review and also implement, for example OS reported as GENERIC instead of FreeBSD (lack of FreeBSD icon in management interface)
Lack of proper client setup under FreeBSD
Lack of FreeBSD port/package
* Add DNS routes (#1943)
Given domains are resolved periodically and resolved IPs are replaced with the new ones. Unless the flag keep_route is set to true, then only new ones are added.
This option is helpful if there are long-running connections that might still point to old IP addresses from changed DNS records.
* Add process posture check (#1693)
Introduces a process posture check to validate the existence and active status of specific binaries on peer systems. The check ensures that files are present at specified paths, and that corresponding processes are running. This check supports Linux, Windows, and macOS systems.

* Add gocritic linter
`gocritic` provides diagnostics that check for bugs, performance, and style issues
We disable the following checks:
- commentFormatting
- captLocal
- deprecatedComment
This PR contains many `//nolint:gocritic` to disable `appendAssign`.
When building client without CGO, user.Lookup
attempts to get user from /etc/passwd
Which doesn't have the user as MacOS uses
opendirectoryd as user directory
This PR fixes issues with the terminal when
running netbird ssh to a remote agent.
Every session looks up a user and loads its
profile. If no user is found, the connection is rejected.
The default user is root.
This PR adds support for SSH access through the NetBird network
without managing SSH skeys.
NetBird client app has an embedded SSH server (Linux/Mac only)
and a netbird ssh command.
