From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Dis/connect from Netbird through NetworkManager? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Up till now I've been using only OpenVPN connections.
Which can be integrated nicely in NetworkManager to connect + disconnect from them, through NetworkManager's UI.

However since recently I also need to use Netbird for some connections.

Is it possible to add Netbird as an entry in NetworkManager, for easy connection + disconnection?
If so, how would one go about setting that up?

Or is adding Netbird in NetworkManager not possible,
and is the Netbird CLI/GUI really the only option?

Edit:
It's not possible yet.
First Netbird needs to add Wireguard config support,
see: https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/issues/2504

No youll need to use the netbird command line to go up/down. Network manager can manage vpns but netbird is a bit different as its basically handling all of the connection stuff like network manager would be doing with an ovpn or raw wireguard config.

I do really hope netbird adds the feature to use raw wireguard clients to connect to nodes, kinda like how netmaker does it.

Ahhh sad to hear, but thanks for your reply,
now I know that I can stop searching,
and start hoping for quick implementation of Wireguard config support for Netbird :)

Would this help? https://forum.manjaro.org/t/howto-configure-wireguard-via-the-networkmanager-gui-advanced-network-manager/138040 Looks like you just need the wireguard config file from Netbird.

Thanks for your suggestion, but after going through the Github issues,
I'm afraid that it's not possible yet to connect to Netbird using a Wireguard config file:
