I took the jump from tailscale to self-hosting via a VPS to fully own the process. I've made a few mistakes along the way, only to stumble across clear instructions across the interwebs.

Hoping that this thread makes it easier for others to make the plunge.

[Using netbird w/ dnsmasq by _wehagy_](https://forum.openwrt.org/t/using-netbird-with-dnsmasq/218358/3)

> I'm glad to hear that my reply on GitHub was helpful to someone! 😊
> 
> I'm using a similar config for DNS, and from what I can see, your setup allows `netbird` to function only for the `*.netbird.cloud` domain, at the same time, you need to prevent DNS leaks to ensure that your DNS server is enforced.
> 
> My config is `dnsmasq` --\> `netbird` --\> `custom DNS`. The custom DNS is managed through the `netbird` dashboard, and I assume you're familiar with how to set this up. In my case, I have a server running `Pi-hole` to block ads, utilizing EDNS0 and a recursive DNS server, all configured with internal routes through `netbird`. However, that's a topic for another day...
> 
> If I'm not mistaken, by default, `netbird` tries to run the DNS server on port `53` at the same IP as the internal `WireGuard` interface (`wt0`), which falls within the range of `100.127.0.1` to `100.127.255.254`. If that fails, it attempts `127.0.0.1`, and if that also fails, it gives up. It will always give up because, in OpenWrt, all ports `53` is already occupied by `dnsmasq`. To resolve this, modify the file `/etc/netbird/config.json` to ensure that the changes are persistent.

> 
> The `127.0.0.1` is mandatory because it is the IP address where the `netbird` DNS server will listen. The `:5335` is the port, which can be any arbitrary number, except for `:53`, which is the default port where the `dnsmasq` DNS server listens.
> 
> Why is `127.0.0.1` mandatory? Sometimes, `dnsmasq` and `netbird` fight for the `/etc/resolv.conf` file. `/etc/resolv.conf` is responsible, simplifying, for informing OpenWrt about the DNS server. This file does not support custom ports, only IP addresses. If, for some reason, this file is changed to an arbitrary address from `netbird`, it is better for it to match the one from `dnsmasq` to ensure that OpenWrt does not lose domain name resolution.

`netbird` has issues with some packages. The problem is known by upstream and reported in the [issue](https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/issues/3736#issue-3018055027), specifically regarding `mwan3` and `pbr`. There may be more packages affected. To circumvent this, you need to set the environment variable `NB_USE_LEGACY_ROUTING=true`, but I don't know the consequences.

It took a lot of learning/troubleshooting/handholding from Claude/ChatGPT but IMO my setup now ~~mirrors~~ exceeds my prior Tailscale setup. For example, I can resolve self-hosted sites using my existing `.lan` addresses. When I used tailscale, I had to fallback to `tailscaleIP:port`.

Here’s my current config:

```plaintext
[NetBird Devices]
│
▼
DNS request to
:53
│
▼
AGH (port 53)
├── If domain is .lan
│ └── forward to dnsmasq (127.0.0.1:54)
│ └── dnsmasq resolves to LAN host
└── Else
└── resolve via upstream resolver (Quad9, etc.)
(traffic still goes over WAN, not PBR/exit node)

```

I am running the control plane (as well as an exit node) on a VPS. My last remaining step is to configure things so that all WAN traffic exiting my router uses the exit node. This should have the effect of obscuring all traffic from my pesky ISP.

Initially I tried doing this in netbird alone (ie pointing my openwrt router to use the exit node), but I quickly realized that doesn’t work by repeatedly losing internet whenever I tried it.

I am currently learning about policy-based routing to achieve this. Let me know if anyone has any insights there, otherwise I will be following [this video](https://youtube.com/watch?v=FN2qfxNIs2g) and reading the openwrt docs.

I’m sure you are looking at the OpenWrt snapshot builds, where `netbird` is at version `0.58.2`, while in the OpenWrt stable release `netbird` is at version `0.50.2`. I rarely backport to the stable version because I don’t use OpenWrt stable, so I have to set up a separate environment each time for testing. In the past I looked for people to test the package, but everyone disappear.

I have just setup Netbird including routes and exit node, I have a Snapshot router with 0.58.2 and one 24.10 Snapshot with Netbird 0.50.2

I am willing to test the 24.10 with 58.2 so I would really appreciate it if you can backport

Thanks, I appreciate the help. 😁

I plan to update the OpenWrt snapshot and backport `0.59.6` this week, I’m testing it now.

Could you share your GitHub username so I can ping you after I open the PR? I can also build the image for you using my GitHub Actions script, I just need the target/subtarget/profile. The default installed packages are: `luci`, `luci-ssl`, `luci-app-attendedsysupgrade`, `luci-app-uhttpd`, `owut`. I can customize the package list if needed.

Great to hear you are going to update and backport.

My github: [https://github.com/egc112?tab=repositories](https://github.com/egc112?tab=repositories)

No need to make a build, I compile myself 🙂

My 24.05 router is running 24.05 snapshot and I actually backported 58.2 already my self and compiled for my 24.10 snapshot target and it runs fine, I did need to run the `netbird up --setup-key ` again probably because of the changes and the different path of the config but that only took a minute.  
I only did a quick backport not sure if there was anything else needed regarding the different config file etc.

I will test again with 0.59 but I am travelling the next 10 days so that has to wait.

I made some notes and will polish and extend those and see if I can get wiki access, I really love it, also installed it on my Oracle cloud VPS, SSH access from the Netbird Dashboard is very neat.  
Sneak preview: [OpenWRT Netbird setup](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/egc112/OpenWRT-egc-add-on/main/notes/OpenWRT%20Netbird.pdf)  
But I have still a lot to learn and discover before it is ready for prime time

Thanks again for all your work

@wehagy any ETA on the upgrade to 0.59 and backport to 24.10?

Hello, I intend to set up a netbird server in my lan.  
Is this thread is up to date to setup it on one part 24.10.4? I have a Flint2 MT6000.  
Does it provide the latest version of netbird?  
Or should I set it up in docker on another server?

I had it running on my R7800 24.04 it had Netbird 0.50.2 not the latest but it worked well also set it up on my DL-WRX36 snapshot build which had 0.58 Netbird and also set it up on my oracle VPS  
It functions well especially the SSH access from the Netbird dashboard to all three peers is really useful.  
Also setup an exit node without any problem.

I have made some notes while setting this up maybe those are helpful, I will eventually try and make a wiki for it if I have been granted access.  
See: [OpenWRT Netbird setup](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/egc112/OpenWRT-egc-add-on/main/notes/OpenWRT%20Netbird.pdf)

Now researching the cooperation with the PBR package

Sorry for the delay, my time's been tight the last few days. At the same time, updating `netbird` has been painful, every time I blink a new version is released 😩.

I opened the PR today. I hope it doesn't become obsolete in a few hours. I’ve pinged you and added instructions for what I think is important to test, and listed the info you need to provide to me fill.

Your `netbird` config doc is great, wonderful. Is there any way I can contribute?

I have just tested the 24.10 snapshot with the PR added and everything works fine.

More details of the testing in the PR

Thanks!

The new version `0.59.12` (not the newer `0.5.13`) has been merged and is probably already in the stable release. Thanks @egc for testing.

Also, @egc I'm thinking of updating `netbird` once a month (or so), because trying to keep up with the latest version is always difficult. I don't want to ping you repeatedly to test new releases, I'll make exceptions for security fixes or critical bugs. Is that okay with you, or do you have any suggestions?

That would be more than enough 🙂

Thanks!
