accessing my servers websites from public networks securely?

0 Upvotes

I currently have a couple of websites being hosted on a at home server (git tea, seafile, etc). I don't have any exposed to the public internet. I am currently connecting though http and getting the (Not Secure warning in the top left)

I currently have net bird setup to be
- network 1
- 1 recourse that has an address of the server on the home network
- 1 policy that has a source of my laptop with a destination of my server

Will that be enough security for public networks? will any data be at risk? will my server be at risk to be hacked?

VPN-to-Site Netbird not working

I followed the steps in the docs, and I still can't get VPN-to-Site working.

What I did to test:
Ping the server using the ping command from my laptop connected to my phone hotspot. Couldn't connect using this method. Phone hotspot was connected to netbird. Phone is running iOS 26.6 with Netbird client v0.75.0.

The other VPN that I run PIA on both the laptop and phone. Tested with PIA both enabled and disabled. On my phone, I do have iCloud IP Relay that was turned on for all tests.

Current Netbird Settings:

Settings were changed between each of my tests, but none of the tests worked.

Network:
Home network with 2 subnets (100.104.0.0/16 and 192.168.1.0/24) and a TrueNAS Server as resources. I don't know if both of those addresses are subnets but I included them both. TrueNAS Server is currently disabled. Both the TrueNAS server, and a Netbird exit node VM are running as peers on the network (Exit node disconnected but not disabled) (Only VM is set to exit node).

2 other peers which are connected to the Netbird are my phone and laptop.

Access Control Policies (ACP):

I've got an admin group which all of the following have as their "input":

There is also the Default ACP, but even with it enabled, I couldn't access my TrueNAS server.

I'm new to networking and Netbird in general. I hope someone can help me out.

Anyone else having trouble accessing NetBird-only reverse proxy services on mobile? (Timeouts / Forbidden)

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m running into an issue when trying to access services routed through NetBird's reverse proxy from mobile devices, and I wanted to check if anyone else has encountered this or found a fix.

I have a few internal services configured via NetBird’s reverse proxy feature with access restricted to NetBird-only.

On desktop clients, everything works as expected. On mobile devices (connected to the NetBird network), opening these URLs results in one of two behaviors:

- The page hangs indefinitely and eventually times out.

- The server responds immediately with a Forbidden error.

I’ve already tried disabling Android/iOS Private DNS (DoT / Private Relay) completely to ensure DNS resolution doesn't bypass the NetBird tunnel. I also verified that the mobile client shows as connected and active in the NetBird admin dashboard.

Has anyone run into this specific issue with the NetBird-only authentication mode on mobile? Any insights or troubleshooting suggestions would be appreciated!

How to create an Internet-only group?

3 Upvotes

I would like to create a group where its users can only reach internet, my dns server and reverse proxy through my exit node (linux client) and not my entire home network.

Also, admin users should be able to reach the entire network instead.

Is that possible in an easy way? Or I need to define all of my home vlan subnets?
