Original Pull Request: https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/pull/4314

State: closed
Merged: Yes


Describe your changes

  • Move util/grpc and util/net to client so internal packages can be accessed
  • Add methods to return the next best interface after the NetBird interface.
  • Use IP_UNICAST_IF sock opt to force the outgoing interface for the NetBird net.Dialer and net.ListenerConfig to avoid routing loops. The interface is picked by the new route lookup method.
  • Some refactoring to avoid import cycles
  • Old behavior is available through NB_USE_LEGACY_ROUTING=true env var
