Originally created by @nouman1657 on GitHub (Apr 18, 2024).

Hi All,

Newbie here for Netbird.

We are trying to implement Netbird in our environment and we love its features for connecting devices with each other. However, we have some portals that are restricted to specific public IPs. When a user is working from home and connects to the Netbird VPN, their IP does not change to a static Netbird IP. As a result, we are unable to access those portals. We are using Netbird self-hosted version 0.27.3. Can anyone suggest if Netbird offers SSL VPN features that allow changing my public IP to the server's public IP?

You would need to configure Netbird to route all traffic to a specific peer. By default, Netbird only routes traffic targeted for another Netbird peer over the VPN. Everything else uses the default routes specified by your OS.

They've got a guide on how to route all internet traffic to a single peer, which would then cause it to have the external IP of the routing peer.

@nouman1657 @Zain0004 Are you running self-hosted? You might need to update the dashboard version, this was added recently.

Alternatively you can just route 0.0.0.0/0, same effect

The exit node management feature on the dashboard wasn't available in the docker image for netbirdio/dashboard:main until a few hours ago, but it is now - you can pin the [v2.3.0] tag to get it!

I followed the steps, setup my VPS as exit node for a desktop and android device in the same "peer group". But still my external/public Ip of peripheral devices (android and desktop) is not that of the public Ip of my VPS. Am I doing something wrong or missing something?

Same for me, internet traffic seems not going through an exit node.

Do you still have the issue with using Exit Nodes on latest NetBird version?

I try cloud server successfully. Thanks for the answer above.

The setup is completely simple. I followed exact this document and added "Distribution group" = "All" > so all of my peers will have Exit Node's IP (They have their own IPxLocation before adding exit node).

https://docs.netbird.io/how-to/configuring-default-routes-for-internet-traffic

Just in case: I have my own setup which added 1 more authentication layer: I have to approve the exit node before it connect other peers, followed this instruction.. Otherwise the Exit Node does not apply routing traffics.

I levaraged free tier of GCP for daily use Exit Node.
