Latest version seems to break RDP connections through Management portal dashboard (Self-Hosted)

Open antybubbs opened this issue 1 month ago • 4 comments

Describe the problem

Ever since upgrading to the latest releases on both management dashboard and clients, i am unable to RDP through to a machine via the management web portal UI like i used to.

If i down grade client to v0.60.9 then the issue goes away.

Additional context

This could be just a me issue but i don't really feel like re-installing my whole netbird stack. I have read that there are similar issues perhaps with SSH, not sure if related.

Hi, thanks for reporting! The problem was introduced in the QUIC library upgrade (PR #4736) which changed how relay connections are handled. This caused TCP traffic (including RDP) through the relay to timeout. This has been fixed - PR #5055 reverted the problematic changes and is now merged to main. Next release will fix this issue - report back here when it drops at let me know how you get on :)

Hi @shuuri-labs - thanks for this, which release should i look out for as i have just upgraded to V0.62.1 and am still having the issue....

@antybubbs v0.62.1 should have contained the fix. First, trying restarting the host. If that doesn't resolve the issue, please try to initiate an RDP connection and the generate a debug bundle on the host you're trying to connect to: netbird debug bundle --anonymize --system-info. Share the ID here and I'll look into it :)
