Add Netbird client to AVM Fritz!OS #669

Open renne opened 1 year ago

renne commented 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'm always frustrated about the tedious work when I have to set up VPN connections for SoHo-Fritz!Boxes manually. It would be great to integrate AVM Fritz!Boxes into Netbird.

Describe the solution you'd like AVM Fritz!OS supports Wireguard since version 7.50. I suggest a co-operation with AVM to integrate the Netbird client into AVM Fritz!OS. This would allow to easily set up a mesh-VPN with hundreds of SoHo-Fritz!Boxes. It would also set an example for other router vendors to integrate Netbird.

Describe alternatives you've considered Setting up AVM Fritz!Box VPNs manually.

It should be possible using custom firmware like FreetzNG and then building the client for i386-mipsel (which go supports out of the box iirc) It is definitely possible to do it yourself, but it wouldn't be easy

@oskardotglobal FreetzNG would be quite a complicated solution which would break Fritz!OS updates. One can do this on a single Fritz!Box, but it's way to complicated for average joes or if you want to roll out a bigger mesh VPN.

Just saying, if you really need to you should be able to

AVM has no 3rd party software on its boxes. So this won't happen, even if Netbird was willing.

@TBT-TBT That's why I suggested a co-operation with AVM. ;-)

As I said. AVM doesn't cooperate with anybody, so they certainly will not do so for a controller-based Wireguard VPN. And outside of German speaking countries, AVM is quite unimportant.

You don't need to wait for something that is never going to happen , as you can set up a gateway to your network (e.g. on a Raspi or a small VM) following https://netbird.io/docs/how-to-guides/network-routes right now, with the same effect as if you had Netbird support on the router.
