Support for Android/ios
I am currently using Tailscale and it has been great. I was planning to move to Nebula since its opensource, but I came across this project and found it exactly like Tailscale but open source. My concern is the android/ios app for VPN Connectivity. The existing wire-guard VPN app can be used to establish network connectivity with wiretrustee network?
Thanks
Hi @mustafaarif Right now we support only Linux, macOS, and Windows but we have Android and iOS apps on our roadmap. Unfortunately, the existing wire-guard VPN app can't be used with the Wiretrustee network.
it would be great if you could do NAT traversal between android devices. At the moment there is no open-source solution, which uses wireguard (considering netmaker and innernet). Really looking forward to it.
@danielkrajnik thank you for the feedback :) Mobile device definitely in our plans!
Thank you, in the meantime if you heard about any other Andorid client that has accomplished this already that would be much appreciated
@danielkrajnik With a bit of configuration, regular Wireguard can do this I believe...
Unfortunately, the existing wire-guard VPN app can't be used with the Wiretrustee network.
So wireguard-go won't work? Is it an issue with Go and we need to pivot to something like boringtun?

The stock WireGuard android app won't work with NetBird. But there will be one from NetBird :)
Are you planning to use a go client for android? I can tell you that the tailscale go client is draining a lot of battery and is not usable for always on. The stock wireguard app on the other hand is great.
Hey @a1ad!
We plan to support both Android and iOS. It will be a custom app written by us. We will try to make it as efficient as possible to the stock WireGuard app :)
When you add the app, try to make it "connect on demand" based on DNS suffix (I haven't tested NetBird yet, but assume it runs an internal dns server, for addressing).
Also, see e.g. ZeroTier (they have connect on demand in their iOS app).

iOS / Android apps would be great for mobile dev. Easy way of connecting device with Mac during app development, without having to listen on public IPs (security risk).
We are already experimenting with go-mobile to make a universal app for Android and iOs.
Definitely mobile apps is our priority. We will deliver it either in December or early Q1 2023
Hey guys love the product!
Excited for some mobile apps to come to make this a replacement solution for my currently more manual wireguard network solution.
This just makes things so much easier <3
Hello Folks, as you may already know, we are developing our android app. We will be doing a closed preview release for those that want to help us test the application with their devices. If you are interested in joining the list of testers, please fill the form in the following link: https://forms.gle/AuLwsnWV5Z4Pn3A87 Once the preview is ready, we will add your information to google play testing list and let you know so you can download the app.
Form for testing is closed, is there anotger way into testing Android App?
Looks like the android app (dev version) is now available in the google play store :-)
Network routes are currently not working (I can access netbird clients only, but not 192.168.0.xxx which I can on all other clients) and one cannot copy the dns name of a client, but only its ip.
Thank you for the the hard work so far. Looking forward for updates&improvements.
Will the Android client also work for Android TV?
For those wondering, short answer is yes but it needs some more work: see https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/issues/889
Netbird has released an app for Android 🥳 are there any updates on the app for iOS?
