How to connect iPhone/iPad to NB network
I have an NB network up and I have two peers: a TrueNas server as well as my macbook. When I installed NB on both of these devices, I was never prompted to connect to a specific server, it sort of just connected these two peers to the same NB network since it was on the same wifi network (I think).
Now I want to connect my iPhone but I have no idea what to enter into the server address field. Is there any way I can ascertain this information?

Trouble Accessing TrueNAS Over NetBird – Possible Misconfig in Resources Tab
Hey everyone, I’ve got NetBird up and running, and what I’m trying to do is fairly simple, but I’m hitting a wall.
On my local network, I have:
A MacBook,
A TrueNAS server (running NetBird inside an Ubuntu VM),
Both devices are on the same LAN and can ping each other without any issues.
However, when I try to access my TrueNAS server from my MacBook while it's connected to a different network (e.g., via mobile hotspot), it doesn’t work. I suspect the issue might be in how I’ve configured the Resources tab in NetBird, but I’m not entirely clear on how that feature is supposed to work.
Has anyone run into a similar issue or can help me troubleshoot the right way to expose local resources across networks with NetBird?
