Initial connect fails and breaks networking

[mpern]

Ran into this while test-driving self hosted Netbird installed via quickstart / getting-started.sh

1. Install Netbird Android (fresh install)
2. Change server to self-hosted instance
3. tap Connect
4. error "no peer auth" (same error also shown in the server logs)

At this stage, my phone wasn't able to connect to anything.anymore.

Workaound:

1. Settings -> Network & Internet -> VPN
2. change Netbird VPN settings:
   • disable "Always-on VPN"
   • disable "Block connections without VPN"
     I probably could have just deleted the VPN 🤔
3. -> network restored
4. Open Netbird app again
5. tap Connect
6. SSO login properly triggers, peer connected
