Hello @alexunderboots, to understand your case better, can you check this behavior with the cloud-hosted version?

I'm also getting this on Android on my Pixel 8 phone. I am directed to Authentik, login successfully, and then I'm redirected to localhost:53000 "This site can't be reached: localhost refused to connect". This worked in older client/server version (I had everything turned off and just upgraded all the apps). Odd how it tries to connect to the localhost address after authentication.

@P4uLT is this a cloud or self-hosted account? if self-hosted, you may need to add more endpoints for pkce, please share your identity provider.

I figured it out. After connecting to my truenas, this port sometimes gets messed up. Reboot the phone.

We have just released the first version of the rewritten client as open test on Google Play, you can sign up for this at play.google.com/apps/testing/io.netbird.client. For whoever still encounters the problem could you check whether that new test version solves it?

I joined the beta and the problem persisted. The only solution was to reboot the phone.

@ishmaelds commented on GitHub (Jul 25, 2025):

I just tried the beta, and the issue is still there, it's redirecting to https://localhost:53000/... if I open that url into my browser and change to http://localhost:53000/... it authenticates, and I show up in the peers list disconnected, but that authentication is not translated to the app so I can never connect.
Turns out I had a different misconfiguration, if I manually go to the URL http://localhost:53000/... it will authenticate and connect my netbird, but it still is broken in that it doesn't go there automatically, it attempts to go to the HTTPS url.

In case it was a default browser issue, I did try both Chrome and Firefox as my browsers, neither worked.

I was hopeful when I saw the new Android client beta allowed PSK, but when I try to use a PSK from my server it tells me invalid key format.

I should also mention that I had this same installation (self-hosted) where I used Zitadel as the backend auth, and when I switched to Keycloak as my backend auth, this problem showed up. The only differences I see in the redirect uri's is that zitadel calls out /auth and /silent-auth and sets them in the setup.env where Keycloak uses /* and doesn't set anything in the setup.env
https://docs.netbird.io/selfhosted/identity-providers
Zitadel:
NETBIRD_AUTH_REDIRECT_URI="/auth"
NETBIRD_AUTH_SILENT_REDIRECT_URI="/silent-auth"

Keycloak:
Root URL: https://YOUR DOMAIN/ (this is the NetBird Dashboard root URL)
Valid redirect URIs: https://YOUR DOMAIN/* and http://localhost:53000
Valid post logout redirect URIs: https://YOUR DOMAIN/*

Android Version 14
App Version: 0.1.7
Netbird: 0.51.1
Keycloak: 26.3.1
