NetBird Down? Real-Time Status & Outage Checker (2026)

NetBird is an open-source zero-trust network platform that uses WireGuard to create secure peer-to-peer mesh networks. With 12K+ GitHub stars, NetBird connects distributed teams, servers, and cloud resources in a fully encrypted overlay network without requiring a central VPN gateway. NetBird Cloud provides managed signal and relay servers, while self-hosted deployments offer full control. When NetBird's management or signal service goes down, new connections cannot be established and disconnected peers cannot reconnect.

This page provides real-time NetBird status monitoring, historical uptime data, and instant outage alerts.

Current NetBird Status

Check live NetBird status now: ezmon.com/status/netbird

Our monitoring probes NetBird Cloud infrastructure every 60 seconds from multiple geographic regions:

• NetBird Cloud Dashboard — Web UI at app.netbird.io
• Management API — Peer registration and network policy API
• Signal Server — WebRTC signaling for peer discovery (GRPC)
• TURN/RELAY Servers — Fallback relay for peers behind strict NAT
• STUN Servers — NAT traversal coordination

How to Check if NetBird Is Down

Quick Diagnosis Steps

1. Check ezmon.com — Multi-region probes distinguish management from signal failures
2. Test peer status — netbird status
3. Check management connectivity — netbird status --detail
4. Check signal server — curl https://signal.netbird.io/
5. NetBird Community Slack — #help channel for real-time reports

NetBird CLI Health Checks

# Check NetBird peer status
netbird status

# Get detailed connection info
netbird status --detail

# Check all peers and their connectivity
netbird status --json | jq '.peers[] | {fqdn: .fqdn, status: .connStatus, latency: .latency}'

# Check management server connection
netbird status --json | jq '{management: .managementState, signal: .signalState}'

# Check WireGuard interface
sudo wg show netbird0

# Test connectivity to another peer
ping 100.x.x.x  # NetBird peer IP

# View NetBird logs
journalctl -u netbird -f --since "1 hour ago"

# Force reconnect
netbird down && netbird up

NetBird API Health Check

import requests
import os
import subprocess
import json

def check_netbird_status():
    """Check NetBird Cloud and local agent health."""
    api_key = os.environ.get("NETBIRD_API_KEY")
    
    # Check Management API
    try:
        resp = requests.get(
            "https://api.netbird.io/api/peers",
            headers={"Authorization": f"Token {api_key}"},
            timeout=10
        )
        peers = resp.json()
        connected = sum(1 for p in peers if p.get("connected"))
        print(f"Management API: OK ({len(peers)} peers, {connected} connected)")
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Management API failed: {e}")
    
    # Check local agent status via CLI
    try:
        result = subprocess.run(
            ["netbird", "status", "--json"],
            capture_output=True, text=True, timeout=10
        )
        if result.returncode == 0:
            status = json.loads(result.stdout)
            mgmt = status.get("managementState", "unknown")
            signal = status.get("signalState", "unknown")
            peers = len(status.get("peers", []))
            print(f"Local agent: management={mgmt}, signal={signal}, peers={peers}")
        else:
            print(f"NetBird agent not running: {result.stderr}")
    except FileNotFoundError:
        print("NetBird CLI not installed")
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Local status check failed: {e}")

Common NetBird Issues and Fixes

Peer Cannot Connect / NAT Traversal Failure

# Check peer connection details
netbird status --detail | grep -A5 "peer_name"

# Force peer reconnection
netbird down
netbird up --management-url https://api.netbird.io

# Check if STUN is reachable
nc -u stun.netbird.io 3478 -v

# Check if TURN relay is being used
netbird status --json | jq '.peers[] | select(.relayed == true) | .fqdn'

# Enable verbose logging for NAT debugging
NETBIRD_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG netbird up

# Check firewall rules (must allow UDP outbound)
sudo iptables -L OUTPUT -n | grep -E "(51820|3478|5349)"

Management API Connection Failures

# Test management API connectivity
curl -v https://api.netbird.io/api/peers \
  -H "Authorization: Token $NETBIRD_API_KEY" 2>&1 | grep -E "(HTTP|< )"

# Check DNS resolution
dig api.netbird.io +short

# Re-authenticate NetBird agent
netbird down
netbird up --management-url https://api.netbird.io \
  --setup-key $NETBIRD_SETUP_KEY

# Check certificate validity
openssl s_client -connect api.netbird.io:443 2>/dev/null | \
  grep -E "(subject|issuer|NotAfter)"

Self-Hosted NetBird Server Issues

# Check all NetBird services
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml ps

# Check management service health
curl -s http://localhost:33073/health | jq .

# Check signal service health  
curl -s http://localhost:10000/  # Signal gRPC port

# View management logs
docker logs netbird-management --tail 50

# View signal logs
docker logs netbird-signal --tail 50

# Restart management service
docker-compose restart management
