Describe the problem
Previously working direct peer connections sometimes fall back to being relayed, possibly after waking from sleep. When it happens,
netbird downthennetbird upis enough to get the peer connections to be direct again.To Reproduce
While I can't reliably reproduce it yet, logging seems to show it happening when waking from sleep. There may be a minimum sleep period before it happens, and it might not happen on every wake.
Expected behavior
Direct peer connections should be reestablished.
Are you using NetBird Cloud?
Yes
NetBird version
0.28.9on Debian BookwormNetBird status -dA output:
Note the two relayed peers. After bringing netbird down and up again they go back to being direct.

Additional context
I'm trying to diagnose an issue where peer connections are made via a relay server when a direct connection should be possible using stun. Running
netbird downthennetbird upseems to be enough to get direct peer connections established again when it happens.Netbird is running inside a Debian Bookworm VM, and I think the issues occurs when the host machine wakes from sleep and peer connections need reestablishing.
I noticed that there doesn't appear to be any mention of
stun.netbird.ioin the debug log when one of these relayed connections is made, almost as if the stun server isn't being used when it happens. For example a successful direct connection shows something like:Whereas there's no mention of
stun.netbird.iowhen a connection between the same peers ends up being relayed:I've attached a sanitized debug client.log file that hopefully show whats happening. The two relevant remote peers are
uMGErvJAyflc7PkSVttAXkZB5Ga09qFKJ4ThQTLanduMGErvJAyflc7PkSVttAXkZB5Ga09qFKJ4ThQTL+5VE=. The previously quoted timestamps should hopefully show the difference between a successful (15:52:55) direct connection, and a relayed one (15:37:09) being used instead to the same peer.The relay log entry at
15:37above was after waking from sleep, and the direct connection at15:52happened after runningnetbird downthennetbird up.I've also got a
netbird.outdebug logfile with thePIONS_LOG_DEBUG=allenv var set that probably shows some useful info, though haven't attached it yet as its unsanitized. I'll try to snip out and sanitize the relevant time periods and will attach them later below, but briefly of note is the following when the15:37post-wake connection attempt happened:There are also a couple of dozen more 'Failed to send packet' errors such as the ones below that only appear on that connection attempt, and not on the successful direct one. The errors appear nowhere else in the logfile apart from connection attempts immediately after the system wakes from sleep:
It's almost as if access to the stun server or network connectivity is initially unavailable on waking, causing the relay to be used instead.
I don't think there's any otherwise noteworthy networking stuff going on between peers. They're on devices behind standard residential internet connections without any CGNAT. When it works, stun seems to be enough to get direct connections working (at least until the machine goes to sleep).
From what I can make out by reading the log files, Netbird doesn't try reconnecting once the relayed connection is established. I'm not sure if this is currently a thing, but perhaps occasionally trying to 'upgrade' to a direct connection from a relayed one might be worth a feature request in future. While it might not be the cause of this issue, it could possibly work around it.

Hi there, have you tested with versions above
v0.30.0? We've releasedv0.30.3today, can you please give it a try and report back?@thrnz commented on GitHub (Oct 24, 2024):
Thanks for the reply.
I've just updated to v0.30.3 and peer connections are remaining direct so far, even after waking from a few sleeps.
I'll keep an eye on it over the next few days and will let you know if there's any further issues, but it's looking good so far.
@thrnz commented on GitHub (Oct 26, 2024):
After a few days of success, it looks like its fallen back to a relayed connections after the latest wake, and hasn't yet re-established direct peer connections after a couple of hours. This was using
v0.30.3.I've attached a sanitized debug client.log as well as a (manually) sanatized ICE debug log.
The machine woke at roughly
2024/10/27 11:56, so relevant log lines would begin there. The relevant peers aremVcZod0gjevW72OTOh02sqTi+iE1kS5NGVIqDwnmQnE=anduMGErvJAyflc7PkSVttAXkZB5Ga09qFKJ4ThQTL+5VE=.debug_logs.zip

Hello @thrnz,
We're currently reviewing our open issues and would like to verify if this problem still exists in the latest NetBird version.
Could you please confirm if the issue is still there?
We may close this issue temporarily if we don't hear back from you within 2 weeks, but feel free to reopen it with updated information.
Thanks for your contribution to improving the project!
@thrnz commented on GitHub (Apr 29, 2025):
I haven't noticed it happening in recent versions, although I haven't been actively keeping an eye on it either. I'll try to keep a more active eye on it triggering over the coming weeks and will post if I notice it still happening. Otherwise, it'll probably be alright to close the issue as possibly fixed.
@thrnz commented on GitHub (May 1, 2025):
It looks like it is still an issue on the latest release (
0.43.1). An hour after waking up this morning a peer is still connected via relay rather than re-establishing a direct connection.@Youwenqwq commented on GitHub (May 4, 2025):
I'm facing the same problem as this issue. All of my connected peers falls back to Relayed connection after running netbird service for some hours, and restarting netbird would solve. My netbird version is 0.43.1(latest), and I am using self-hosted service too.
