Exit node
Tailscale/headscale supports using exit nodes for using the network as a full mesh VPN.
This feature is very important for me, as I want to have a single IP, which gives me full speed while I'm in LAN, while being accessible from outside the network.
i would be using it mostly from mobile, related #213
I agree. A mobile client that supports always-on VPN and starts on boot linked to a centralized exit node would be heaven 😇
Dropping by a year later -- Android client and cloud control panel look nice! Still no 0.0.0.0/0 route option though...
exit nodes has been sheduled for Q3 in 2023 https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/projects/2#card-85699571
still unsure if it is currently worked on. @braginini it would be nice to get some feedback on the progress. thanks
+1 For this as well... it's really needed for mobile devices on untrusted networks, right now I need to run wireguard separately for the full tunnel and NetBird for when I just need overlay mode. It should be selectable on the clients as well (e.g. "Full Tunnel Mode" vs "Overlay Mode").
Actually netbird is using COTURN tunneling, which does something very similar like exit nodes. You can access networks behind NAT, but this is very poorly documented.

How does this work? How did you get this working? I want to have my private nodes connected via ipv6 and have access to ipv4 public internet via one exit node (that has both, ipv4 and ipv6 to public internet).
this feature will be available next month (March 2024) according to the public roadmap 🥳 https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/projects/2#card-91718215

COTURN is used as a relay server and can’t be used as an exit node. It is just a “dummy proxy” that forwards peer-to-peer encrypted traffic between machines when no p2p connection is possible.

Whoa! NetBird CEO and Co-founder @braginini personally replying to a GitHub issue?! That just made my day. 🌟
P.S. Your article https://netbird.io/knowledge-hub/using-xdp-ebpf-to-share-default-dns-port-between-resolvers was fascinating -- really helps unmask the technically challenging "magic" that goes on behind the scenes. Keep up the great work - we're all fans here

Thank you, @mrbluecoat, for the kind words. Everyone on our team gets hands dirty :)

Thanks! The team has put a lot of effort into making it work. We will publish more. Stay tuned ;)
Glad to see this exit nodes (route 0.0.0.0) to be coming soon.... its really the only missing feature stopping me from coming over from tailscale.
Is there any update on this? Netbird's speed currently outperforms some of its competition.
Apparently it has been added for linux clients in #1667. But what about the other clients? Is it also planned for them this or next month?

A new version v0.26.4 was released that supports Linux. Update the client, and the 0.0.0.0/0 routes should work already. Windows is in the review, and we should finish it by the end of the week. Mac is next. The release should be there next week. Mobile clients are a little tricky, but we are at full power!
