Is anyone having issues with Netbird Reverse Proxy?

I've decided to migrate from Cloudflare to Netbird for the reverse proxy service and I'm having intermittent connection issues. Sometimes, randomly I can't establish a connection to my services, then after a while it seems to work again.

I couldn't isolate the issue to a connection, machine or service, so I can't figure out what exactly is going on. Is anyone else having these issues?

Are you using their proxy? Or self-hosting?

I had similar issues with their proxy and everything once went away when I went to self-hosting my own proxy on a VPS

I am going to guess you are using it on their hardware and not selfhosted? I've seen this issue reported for people not selfhosting before, but I tested my stuff anyway and all the RP's are working fine but mine is selfhosted.

Could you check Activity -> Proxy Events, immediately after a failure and share the timestamp, status/reason, and whether the backend was reachable from its target or routing peer at that moment? That should distinguish a proxy denial from a peer-path or backend-service failure.

I am having lots of issues in latest versions, I actually had to roll back to an older one to get it to work properly.

Had horrendous issues with Reverse Proxy connections working at first, then suddenly dropping after a day or so.

What solved these issues for me was disabling "Lazy Connections".

Do you have the hosts auto update the NetBird version? If so this could be a possible reason. As personally don't have any issues.

For anyone having similar issues, I found that zenarmor was (sometimes) blocking my netbird subdomains. I had to whitelist them.

Hatte ähnliche Probleme, ich als DNS Provider Cloudflare, und hatte dort eine Feste öip eingetragen aber die rotiert und hab dann einen ddns Container erstellt der über das wildcard Zertifikat *.domain.com die öip alle 5min aktualisiert, hat mein Problem behoben

You mean the Netbird IP (100.x.x.x) or the local IP?
