Netbird SSH

Is Netbird SSH just like Tailscale ssh where it runs its own ssh server and anyone allowed by ACL can login without credentials?

I think so yeah I have never tried it myself due to not having a production use for it

Netbird SSH not working Tried using Netbird Installed on VPS (All port open) and netbird agent running on a ubuntu locally hosted machine.
netbird ssh 100.94.77.94
Error: dial tcp 100.94.77.94:44338: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
Couldn't connect. Please check the connection status or if the ssh server is enabled on the other peer
You can verify the connection by running:

netbird status

Error: dial tcp 100.94.77.94:44338: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

SSH is enabled in Netbird Peer settings via the web UI. ACL policy also allows it.

I am able to ping the destination machine and also ssh traditionally using the netbird hostname or IP. eg ssh root@IP @Codixer sorry for the ping. Do you have any suggestion for debugging this? Update: After I added netbird up --allow-server-ssh I am now able to ssh using netbird easyssh. However, there seems to be some bug with windows terminal. I get this error when trying to use easyssh on windows
netbird ssh <HOSTNAME>
Error: failed to run raw terminal: The parameter is incorrect.
netbird ssh <HOSTNAME>

However, it works perfectly fine if I use a linux terminal.

I opened an issue about netbird ssh not working on windows. It's broken (since a while now)
