I know nobody at Netbird will see this but I just finished setting up netbird via podman quadlets with traefik and its absolutely amazing!! I was using headscale before. I'm getting near at home speeds and I'm using the stun server as I can't get a direct connection because of firewalls. The dashboard and documentation is mint and I can't thank the people at netbird enough for the recent huge update that makes setting it up so much easier.

Next to my Home Assistant this is my second favourite and important piece in my homelab.

This is why I love open source!

Thank you!!

I actually had the opposite and the tailscale app would drain my battery when using one of my exit nodes. I will say the netbird app needs some love. My biggest issue is that it doesn't stay connected or is able to reconnect when I change WiFi networks or go from WiFi to cellular.

Try Jetbird, it solved the connection issues for me, but drained the battery similarly for me
