I want to access my services through Netbird (I'm using Windows 11). In order to do this, I created a route to my pfSense's DNS server to be able to resolve my services domain name (gitlab.mycompany.net for example).
Sometimes, my nameserver isn't available at all :
Nameservers:
[10.220.220.1:53] for [gitlab.mycompany.net, ...] is Unavailable, reason: 1 error occurred:
* read udp 172.20.10.7:57553->10.220.220.1:53: i/o timeout
Sometimes, after restarting my Netbird's client (netbird down, netbird up), my nameserver is marked as available:
Nameservers:
[10.220.220.1:53] for [gitlab.mycompany.net, ...] is Available
BUT, my gitlab web ui is taking a while to load, and my ping to the gitlab server are very strange:

Note that in my client.log, the route is switching from one to another endlessly, maybe this is why it's working sometimes.

Are you using NetBird Cloud?
I'm using a self-hosted NetBird instance.
NetBird version
Both client and server version are 0.27.7
Additional context
It's perfectly working on Linux clients.
