Hi, thanks for improvement of gui settings.
I think it would be useful to also add the opportunity to switch across different networks (changing config) from gui.
I need to switch network often and actually I need to stop netbird, rename 2 config file in C:\programdata\netbird\ (on windows) and restart netbird to switch the network.
I often also have to check first with netbird status -d to understand which network I am initially connected to so as not to make a mistake in renaming the config also including the name of the network.
I suppose I'm not the only one who needs this, in my case because I do technical assistance for multiple customers and only a few have a "shared" netbird network (and separated internally by acl).

No, #446 is for multiple network at once, this only for make easier/fast switch network

Sorry, then I seem to have misremembered what #446 does. Anyways, I might pick up this issue and write up a PR for it.

Hi there, we still don't have this feature; in the meantime, can you test this simple script that allows you to switch between installed NetBird service installs. You can create a service using

sudo netbird service install --service <profile_name> --config /etc/netbird/<profile_name>.json

The script handles multiple profiles and also handles the default name for service named netbird which uses the default config file, config.json.

Since you can only be running one service at a time, I ended up creating this script to handle the start/stop of each service and to show me which running "profile" is activated. I know it's a temporary solution, but will help you handle this scenario a bit better until we implement the feature.
