Slow or intermittent connection on Android #994

@RockSolidBrawler commented on GitHub (Jun 20, 2024):

I'm having some similar issue at least since a couple of weeks.
The "download speed" ist extremly slow. Like 100kbit/s while upload is as expected. It's leading to an extremely slow connection or even timeouts.
Tested in multiple networks (wifi an mobile data).
No problems with "plain wireguard".

I got an Pixel 6a with Android 14.
On another Android Tablet (Lenovo) no Problems.
Maybe some Google Pixel specific issue?

Netbird

"Plain wireguard"

Edit: issue still occurs in 0.28

I am also experiencing this problem.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S22 with Andriod 14.
The download speed is very slow when I am using NetBird

I also have a Galaxy S10 with Android 12, and with that phone everything works as it should. The speed is normal.

So for me, if I'm using a phone with Android 14, the download speed is really slow.
If I use a phone with Android 12, the speed is OK

This has been happening for me basically since I installed the app a long time ago, so it's possible that code that was originally on pixels has been pushed to general android in the android 14

@otaconix commented on GitHub (Jun 29, 2024):

Not sure this helps, but I have a few things to add:

It doesn't necessarily happen with every peer.
Depending on the connection my phone is on, a connection to a peer may be absolutely fine, or slow as molasses. Meaning: I could be having a fine experience connecting to peer X on WiFi, but then have a very slow connection to X when on mobile data, or vice-versa.
As far as I can tell, it doesn't seem to be impacted by whether the peer connection is "relayed" or "P2P" (I checked by doing netbird status -d --filter-by-names android-peer-name on the host I'm connecting to). At first I thought it might, because the first time this happened to me was when I was on mobile data, so I thought it could have something to do with my TURN servers.

Hey, I've been following project since the wiretrustee days
just moved my home network to Netbird and i faced this issue.

This does seem to be device related, as I tested this with another phone on the same network with the same peer and got expected speeds.
However, on my pixel I got 0.255 mbps, there's a bottleneck somewhere for sure.
Tailscale is working fine on the same device and doesn't have any issues.

Hey folks, sorry for the delay in responding here.

There are a few things that can influence the performance for the Android client. One of them is the connection type between the nodes. So if they are using a relayed connection, is possible that the performance will be greatly reduced.

So far the files shared here didn't contain the events that could help us identify if a connection was relayed or not. For that reason, it will be great if you can enable the trace logs, wait a few seconds after the connection with the peers you are testing to be established and then export the logs. See guide here: https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/issues/2158#issuecomment-2283570413

Both the devices are under CG-NAT or symmetric NAT which as far as I know would lead to the usage of TURN server. Only android speeds are affected.

I was experiencing this, tonight when I went to grab the trace logs the speed has improved somewhat but is still significantly lower than expected.

Tracelogs attached:
netbird-1727520227860.log.txt

For my setup, there is two peers:

A smart phone
A server running the netbird docker image

The LAN on 192.168.1.0/24 is advertised to go via the server and masquerade.

Trace logs attached.
I've also attached some screenshots of speed tests:

A LAN speedtest on wifi with Netbird disabled
- speeds as expected
A LAN speedtest on wifi with Netbird enabled
- speeds are not as expected, massive drop when the packets would ideally be routed out the wifi interface not the netbird interface, since this is the home LAN
- but even if packets are going through netbird tunnel, the massive drop in speed is not expected
A LAN speedtest on celluar with Netbird enabled
- Speeds not as expected, massive drop in speed seen again
A public speedtest on cellular with Netbird disabled
- Speeds as expected
A public speedtest on cellular with Netbird enabled
- Speeds as expected

I have not configured an exit node and it seems that speed drops are only seen when accessing items on the LAN through the route advertised on the Netbird tunnel.

As per @dfillingham, the issue only affects Android devices assigned to regular network routes. Android devices assigned to exit nodes (even with same routing peers) and iOS/Mac/Windows/Linux devices (regardless of network route type) are not affected.

Adding an exit node, elbeit being the same as the peer i access solved it for me, though it doens't really make sense to me that it should be necessary.

This allows me to reliably access the peer which the exit node is on, however speed on any other website google, spotify etc is completely unusable.

I have netbird installed on my router which exposes my whole home network via subnet routing. I can access all devices via the subnet as well as the router directly. I tried using DNS without any Problems too, though I'm not using netbirds DNS features.

All of the things I tried worked flawlessly on Android 15. On Android 14 everything was slow.

I just tried adding a route which uses the LAN IPv4 address of the peer I'm trying to connect to and uses that same peer as the routing peer—the issue persisted.

Obviously there isn't an issue with connecting to the peer as webpages load... eventually, but it's just so unbearably slow and I can't think why.

Just adding another datapoint to say that it's effecting android 13 for me on one device but not another also running android 13. As soon as I added my device to a new group and set an exit node speeds went up dramatically, as well to resources which arent on that exit node. So it's not a specific android version that's causing this probably.

Regarding my issue here, it seems the issue is that Dynamic routes (Domain routes), do not work at all, since configureInterface in Android is called with only static routes, and I cannot for the life of me find where it updates/adds new routes (or whichever method it uses to add/update routes just doesn't work)

After a lot of struggling I was able to come up with a temporary workaround (works on my device at least, so I'm hoping this could create some insight into why it's not working)

@mohamed-essam DNS routes are not supported yet because android has this requirement of needing to recreate the interface/vpn service to add routes. In the current version, we plan to add support for it, but I can't provide a good estimate yet.

As an alternative, you can use exit nodes for your android devices.
