Netbird DNS not working on android

[simen64]

Describe the problem

When using the netbird VPN on my pixel 8 pro, it does not resolve dns using the netbird assigned DNS server.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Use the netbird vpn on pixel 8 pro
2. Make sure private DNS is turned off in settings
3. try to access one of the netbird IP's in the browser
4. See nothing

Expected behavior The IP resolves and serves what is on that clients ip web ui etc

Are you using NetBird Cloud?

I am self-hosting

NetBird version

Server version = 0.28.7 Android app version = `0.28.0

I have attached the logs from advanced trace log from the netbird app. netbird-1723394378631.log.txt

@simen64 any chance it's related to 1483 ? Adding a DNS server solved similar issues that I was having.

Seems like I have the same issue. I have adguard as dns and it works on windows and Linux but not on my 1+11-Android14

I have a nameserver setup for distribution group "all". This works on my windows machine.

I can ping the ip of the other peers but an nslookup on the domain name fails and shows the phone using 8.8.8.8 instead of the nameserver set in Netbird.

EDIT: Just adding some more context after updating peers to 0.30.2

Peers:

Nameserver:

netbird status -d shows nameserver on all devices, but names only resolve properly on windows.

following the comment here https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/issues/1483#issuecomment-2341193743, suggesting to add a default catch all nameserver, made the namerserver work on both linux and android for me.

I believe this is a result of issue 2158
