Good evening everyone,

Thank you for this fantastic tool – it regularly helps me a lot. However, I now have a new challenge.

I’ve successfully set up several Raspberry Pis with the Netbird client without any issues. Now, one of the Raspberry Pis is behind an HTTP proxy without authentication and is unable to establish a connection. What’s the best way to resolve this?

I’ve already configured the proxy for APT, CURL, WGET, etc., and those services work without any problems. However, Netbird fails to connect. At the previous location, using the same hardware, everything worked fine, so the issue appears to be related to the proxy.

I’d appreciate your support and wish you a pleasant evening.

Hi @LKleemann,

does the proxy support http/2?
how is authentication realized?

Good day @lixmal ,

Thank you for your quick response. Unfortunately, I cannot answer that question for you.

The proxy was set up by the IT department. How can I best check this?
Authentication on the proxy is not required; for us, it runs via a setup key on Netbird.

Does the client side need a proxy with HTTP/2, or is it only required on the server side? I was able to connect all other clients without any issues.

I look forward to hearing from you and wish you a great day!

@LKleemann Client connects to management and signal services via GRPC (which requires HTTP/2), and as stated in the documentation, HTTP/2 support is required for any proxy/reverse-proxy between client and management/signal components
