Describe the problem

I updated to the latest 0.59.x version of netbird from 0.57.1
After this I could not reach my machine at all.
Machine is running 0.45.1. I am afraid to update now so as to not lose access.
Any help is appreciated please.

@snake2nd, can you run the following commands on both machines?

netbird debug log level trace
# Try to ping the other peer a few times
# wait 30s
netbird debug bundle --upload-server --annonymize 
netbird debug log level info

then share both upload keys

Hi @mlsmaycon ,

Thanks or your response. Based on your recommendation to check and run the previous codes, I had to reinstall the latest version and that now works. But the confusing part is that I had tried uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times previously( the same 0.59x ) version and was encountering the same issue.
Is there a difference in the files that are created in the Netbird folder under program data that could have changed when I reinstalled 0.57.1 ?
