Gah! This bit me today.
I'm experimenting with switching from Tailscale to Netbird. I was streaming Jellyfin to my TV via netbird and was surprised when it started buffering. Turning down the video quality helped keep the stream going.
Yeah, no wonder. Turns out my video was being streamed via relay because all of the Android apps default to force relayed connections.
I guess they're working out some kinks still... anyway, turning that setting off fixed my streaming latency!

This was not defaulted on my Jetbird.

Because JetBird explicitly changed that setting away from the default

Nice little netbird wrapper for android. It's on fdroid if you want to check it out.

As a former user of zerotier, why this instead of plain wireguard? I'm not aiming to be inflammatory - maybe I'm missing out.

Personally I use pure wireguard, but it was a nightmare to setup when your working overtime (in the USA). Sometimes people need a simple binary that just connects without any further research, but I will admit now that I know wireguard it feels incredibly simple
