I have recently switched to OpenBSD from Linux. I am pleased to say that almost everything works as it should, and I've smoothed over the few issues I noticed in the beginning. However, one problem I still have is that of NetBird.

I am a member of the infrastructure dept. of a student society, in which we use NetBird to restrict access to some of our services (e.g. SSH into the servers). I don't like it, but it's what we're stuck with.

I noticed that the client software is available on FreeBSD, but not on OpenBSD or NetBSD. Just in case it was simpler than it seemed, I cloned the source and attempted to build it. However, I got the following error output:

# github.com/netbirdio/netbird/client/system

internal/routemanager/systemops/systemops_bsd.go:159:19: undefined: syscall.RTF_LOCAL

I do not know Go, so I am clueless as to how this could be patched. Can anybody shed any light?

If it's simply impossible, there are workarounds; but it would be awesome if I could have it running natively on my machine.

What did you run? They mention a getting-started.sh script.
