Originally created by @graphixillusion on GitHub (Jun 30, 2024).

Describe the problem
At every reboot the netbird's network adapter is reset:

  • the name of the interface will increase by one number at every reboot: (Name wt0 1, wt0 2, wt0 3, ...)
  • the alias of the interface is always the same (wt0)

A clear and concise description of what the problem is.

The problem is that if i set the connection to private, it resets to public at every os reboot.

To Reproduce

  1. set-netConnectionProfile -InterfaceAlias wt0 -NetworkCategory "Private"
  2. reboot the system
  3. network profile is reverted back to public becouse the name of the interface changes the name with a +1 while still keeping the same alias as described before.

Expected behavior

Netbird should keep the same interface name and keep the settings applied.

NetBird version

0.28.3 on Windows 11 23H2

Wow, we are at version 0.28.9 yet absolutely no one from development cares about such a huge bug. In another thread a guy proposed a solution of a few simple lines. What a sad shame.

Indeed. Is there any workaround? BTW, if you expand this key in the registry:

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles

it's full of different GUID garbage all coming from netbird becouse at every reboot it will creates a new profile with a new GUID with a name/description = wt0. If this is already present the counter will increase every time...

It seems that since version 0.29.0 this issue is not happening anymore. I will report it back if something wrong will happen again...

I can confirm after reset the networklist profiles in registry, my wt0 interface still wt0 without any number now. Looks like the update include this fix (maybe). And after update to 0.29.1 and now 0.29.2 the problem looks like really gone.

@graphixillusion Now it's version 0.34.1 and the issue no longer exists. Maybe this issue should be closed.
