Originally created by @Mikesco3 on GitHub (Nov 7, 2024).
Describe the problem
Windows clients can't reach peers untill I ping them.
I believe the issue is prevalent after reboots and I haven't het monitored if it drops later during the day.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Are you using NetBird Cloud?
I'm using the NetBird SelfHosted control plane.
NetBird version
0.31.0Expected behavior
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.
I have a few computers connected on different locations and I'm using Netbird to connect them together.
Installed the Netbird client and joined it to the control pane and did the same on other windows PCs across the internet
When I reboot the computer, I cannot reach the other Peer across netbird.
What seems to help is if I ping the computer, and then after that I can reach the computer.
I haven't checked if after a while it drops or not.
What I would hope is that if I have another windows computer connected from a different location via netbird, I would be able to reconnect to it, even if I have to wait for a bit untill the other services come back online (at least that works with zerotier and other similar products)
Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Additional context
Then if I ping the peer I'm trying to access, after a (3 to 5 second) pause it starts replying to pings and then I can connect to it fine
Slight pause (3 to 5 seconds)
Then we can connect to the Peer Windows PC with no issues...
Attachments
I've attached a copy of my config files:
docker-compose.ymlmanagement.jsonconfig.jsonNetBird status -dA output:
If applicable, add the `netbird status -dA' command output.
I grabbed the output while the computer wasn't having the connection issues and before I pinged the peer.
@mlsmaycon commented on GitHub (Nov 7, 2024):
It seems like a crash. @Mikesco3 can you check if there was any event in the event viewer (system and applications)?
@Mikesco3 commented on GitHub (Nov 7, 2024):
I just have 2 Event ID 86
@mlsmaycon commented on GitHub (Nov 7, 2024):
Could you please run the following command in an elevated powershell:
then try to reproduce the issue? If you can reproduce it, you should see a file in C:\ProgramData\netbird\netbird.err. Please share it with us.
@Mikesco3 commented on GitHub (Nov 7, 2024):
netbird.errfile is still emptyI also have some Information stuff in the system part of the windows logs:
etc...
etc...
@Mikesco3 commented on GitHub (Nov 7, 2024):
I can refer to the system practically right away from the netbird IP...
So it seems to be related to DNS??
Update
If I add the Netbird IP address of the peer in question to the host file and reboot, then it is available right away...
Temporary solution
In my example
server-crpoints to100.65.118.84C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hostsAt the end of the file add (Adjust for your case):

can you share the client logs?
You can bundle them with:
netbird debug bundle -A

Here are the logs...
I checked lighly to see if I needed to obfuscate anything and there only seem to be public keys...

BTW, I don't know if this makes a difference or not...
Before running the current setup of Netbird,
\programdata\So I don't know if there are any leftovers in the registry, that could point to the old vps??
@Mikesco3 commented on GitHub (Nov 7, 2024):
However this wouldn't make sense, because I'm also having the issue on machines that never had Netbird before...
@Mikesco3 commented on GitHub (Nov 9, 2024):
For now my solution has been to add the IP's for the machines I need to reach to the host file and that worked.
It's not a pretty fix but it's working like a charm.

Hello @Mikesco3,
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!

Hi @nazarewk
We are running into somewhat similar (??) problem on windows peer, but related to DNS resolution.
We have network configured, which is supposed to resolve internal DNS records using "routing peer internal resolution".
It works everywhere, but the single Windows peer.
When I run:
netbird list routes
it shows all networks correctly, however on Windows peer the first ping of the destination peer in the target network always fails after reboot.
Then, after the ping fails, the remote's peer fqdn shows up in the resolved IPs:
All pings later work fine.
