Could we get a video re-visiting netbird a little more? Their 0.59 release looks like it added a browser client for ssh and rdp and it would be interesting to see something on it, or maybe just whatever else they’ve added since the last video since you covered it last year.
Yeah, that is on my todo list since they have added A LOT of new features.
Can you remind me how the process goes? Is this a service that your endpoints connect to in order to form the tunnel? I think I need to set this up for my lab, things have changed and I no longer have access, this might be a fix.
And while not popular here, OPNsense has a plugin for Netbird.
Netbird is an overlay VPN
Well, the OPNsense end was really easy, so was the windows end. All the magic seems to come from the configuration panel to set up the network. Had XO from sources going, and an RDP to my lab DC. I should have set this up a long time ago! Need to spend more time getting things going, set up the hyper-v cluster and clustered storage, etc.
I will probably figure this out soon, but knowing how to use DNS names on the remote side, and not use the remote side for all DNS requests would be nice. Right now mine is IP only, but I think I’ll have some services up soon that require the DNS from my lab. VMware VCSA was one of those, but my license ran out and VMware continues to hate people outside of their club and trying to learn their products.
Workaround right now is RDP into a lab machine and work from there.
Just done this, so only the required dns queries are sent down the vpn tunnel.
If the dns server has netbird agent installed, create dns nameserver and point to the the machine, under domains add the local network domain
In our case, the firewall is the dns server where we could not install the agent
- Setup dns nameserver as above
- On the network settings, add one of the agent as the routing peer
- Within Manage DNS in your network - NetBird Docs , we added settings for ‘Addng remote private dns servers’
Just make sure you have udp port 53 enable to go down the vpn tunnel
Thanks, I haven’t had time to get back to this yet, need to carve out time and get my Hyper-V system up and test a few things. I’ve been too busy with learning BSS Soundweb London Blu-xxx audio processors and REW room audio measurements that I haven’t had time to get back to this. I have a few tasks I need to get testing in my lab so I can roll them out to production.
