What is NetBird?

NetBird 0.79.0 enters RC with mobile MDM and a DNS architecture change

NetBird is simultaneously running an RC for 0.79.0 and canary builds for 0.80.0 and 0.81.0. The 0.79.0 RC brings mobile MDM support for iOS and Android, a shift from eBPF-based DNS forwarding to DNAT for port 53 (more portable across kernel versions), custom domain expiry enforcement, hardened OIDC issuer validation, and light/dark/system theme support. The canary builds layer on proxy rate limiting, session read-lock correctness, and relay reconnection fixes.

NetBird 0.79.0 enters RC with mobile MDM and a DNS architecture change

◆ Current state

NetBird is simultaneously running an RC for 0.79.0 and canary builds for 0.80.0 and 0.81.0. The 0.79.0 RC brings mobile MDM support for iOS and Android, a shift from eBPF-based DNS forwarding to DNAT for port 53 (more portable across kernel versions), custom domain expiry enforcement, hardened OIDC issuer validation, and light/dark/system theme support. The canary builds layer on proxy rate limiting, session read-lock correctness, and relay reconnection fixes.

◆ Where it's heading

NetBird is adding enterprise and mobile deployment capabilities in each cycle. The MDM bridge for iOS/Android addresses corporate device management. The DNS DNAT change trades eBPF's performance edge for broader kernel compatibility — suggesting a push to support more client environments (older kernels, containers without eBPF, etc). Regular security hardening (rate limits, OIDC validation, forwarded-IP trust) indicates a compliance-aware user base.

◆ Prediction

Version 0.79.0 GA will follow the RC shortly. The 0.80.0/0.81.0 canary cadence suggests continuous delivery with overlapping cycles. RHEL certification metadata (added in the 0.81.0 canary) points toward formal enterprise distribution channels.
