Netclient v1.5.0 Release Notes 🚀
🚀 What’s New
🔁 Overlapping Egress Ranges (beta)
- Virtual NAT mode enables multiple egress routers to share overlapping IP ranges by assigning each egress a virtual range from a configurable pool.
- Configurable per-network IPv4 pool and site prefix length for virtual range allocation.
- Eliminates routing conflicts when multiple sites need to egress the same destination CIDRs (e.g., multiple offices routing to the same cloud VPC).
- Supports both direct NAT and virtual NAT modes for flexible egress configurations.

-
On systems using systemd-resolved in uplink mode, the first 3 entries in resolv.conf are used and rest are ignored. So it might cause DNS issues. Stub mode is preferred.
