Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I wanted to bring Netbird to OPNsense. The plugin (https://github.com/opnsense/plugins/pull/4531) itself is ready, but we need the FreeBSD port. I thought I can add it to the OPNsense ports, but it seems that this repo is a clone of a clone:
https://github.com/opnsense/ports/pull/218

Describe the solution you'd like
I prepared the Netbird port for FreeBSD:
https://github.com/Gauss23/OPNsensePorts/tree/Netbird/net/netbird

As this is a more official thing to do, I wanted to ask the Netbird maintainers, if they want to push this to the FreeBSD team, as described here:
https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/porters-handbook/quick-porting/

Otherwise I would be fine to submit the port.

Currently there is a patch included, that reports FreeBSD systems as FakeBSD to the Netbird management server, otherwise the OPNsense boxes can't be used as a routing peer. As soon as this limitation is gone, we can remove the patch

Describe alternatives you've considered
Installing the Netbird binary manually is not what I wanted, especially as long as there is the routing limitation in the original binary. The current binary should be installed when installing the Netbird plugin for OPNsense automatically and from the FreeBSD repos.

@Gauss23 thanks for your wonderful contribution! We've submitted the NetBird port to the FreeBSD team. The patch you mentioned didn't included, we can discuss the limitation after the port is accepted.

Thank you @hakansa. Hope they‘ll add it. Did you choose the path security/netbird? Tools like tailscale are in net/tailscale, so I thought net/netbird would be a good place.

Similar products (including tailscale) is under security/ category. So we move forward with security category

Ah sorry, I mixed it up with Zerotier, which is in net/. Security seems to be fine then. Thank you!

Super excited there is finally real engagement for freebsd support. We use tailscale in our environment (because of pfsense routers) and there are certain limitations and issues (specifically on the self hosted side) that I have workarounds for, but plan to switch to netbird once official pfsense support is integrated. 😊
