Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It is possible to support Android 5.1, because right now the error in the log are "util/net/dialer_android.go:20 failed to protect socket" and "client/internal/login.go:96 failed connecting to the Management service https://app.netbird.io:443 context deadline exceeded".

Describe the solution you'd like
The Android client should connect.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Android 5 is no longer supported, even by Google itself. And it seems Netbird will have to do the same.
@mlsmaycon?

Hi there @michele-grifa can you please test latest Android release? We need a minimal of SdkVersion = 26 which corresponds to Android 8.0, so I think you won't have much chance, even with the latest version.

@mgarces commented on GitHub (Dec 5, 2024): Hi there @michele-grifa can you please test latest Android release? We need a minimal of `SdkVersion = 26` which corresponds to Android 8.0, so I think you won't have much chance, even with the latest version.

Hi, I ended up replacing the old devices with new ones. Thanks for the help anyway.
