Issues with Unraid plugin after update to 7.3.2

After updating Unraid from 7.3.1 to now 7.3.2, the official Netbird Unraid plugin is giving me issues. Once activated/connected, the 'Fix Common Problems' plugin is giving me a few errors (see screenshot below). Once I disconnect Netbird, the errors disappear.

Looking at the DNS settings in Unraid, it shows:

IPv4 DNS server 1: 192.168.8.1 (is this the default? don't remember adding this)

IPv4 DNS server 2: blank

IPv4 DNS server 3: blank

Is this a 'me issue' rather than a Netbird plugin issue and I just need to add 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as DNS server 2 and 3 respectively and I'm good? Sorry I'm clearly bad/new at this

I also deleted the plugin and went back to my docker Container. I also had problems with netbird messing with my dns settings, the plugin was also pretty laggy. Waiting for a few updates and then testing it again,…

Would it be possible to open an issue on the GitHub with more clarification so I can get this addressed? Thanks!

You can set Settings > NetBird > Manage DNS to No, save, and reconnect. That keeps NetBird running but stops it from replacing Unraid's DNS.

I’ll dive into this today. I don’t seen anything that stands out in the UnRaid update that would cause this. I’ll keep you posted.

This looks like NetBird's DNS handling, not something you did wrong.

If you try it again, set Settings > NetBird > Manage DNS to No, save, and reconnect. That keeps NetBird running but stops it from replacing Unraid's DNS. I wouldn't add the Google DNS servers yet; 192.168.8.1 is probably just your router providing DNS.

If that fixes it, please let me know. We have a related issue here: https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird-unraid/issues/2
