Describe the problem
I use Netbird for accessing some services like Open-Webui from anywhere and that works very well so far.
Recently, I wanted to enable an exit node so that my traffic would be routed through my home network. Sadly, as soon as I enable to only exit node of my network, I don’t have access to internet anymore, only to my local network.
I’m using Linux NixOS and I haven’t tried with another distro.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Select “Exit Node (apollo)” in the network panel
Expected behavior
Internet should be working.
Are you using NetBird Cloud?
I use Netbird Cloud.
NetBird version
0.49.0
Is any other VPN software installed?
No
