Hello,

I'm using self hosted netbird and it works great.

My peers have P2P (direct) connection, e.g between laptops/phones, no problem.

But my Teltonika routers are always in "Relayed" mode, they get internet through 4G/5G with a SIM card.

Here's some debug logs:

netbird.debug.1078192187.zip

What is weird is that the routers have direct connexion between themselves, but none of them has direct connexion with "normal peers" (PC, phones over wifi) with classic internet.

I installed & enabled an UPNP package on the router but that did not change anything.

I plan to use netbird for ~200 of these 4G/5G routers, and probably ~100 normal machines.

I'm a bit afraid that 200 relayed+ devices will create problems on the server, even tho for the moment it works great even in relayed mode (is there some documentation about scaling?). What can I try to improve connectivity?
