`netbird` now supports profiles [1]. The configuration file has been
moved from `/etc/netbird/config.json` to `/var/lib/netbird/`. The
migration is handled by `netbird` itself.
However, in OpenWrt, the `/var` directory is a symbolic link to
`/tmp`, which is a temporary directory. This can result in
configuration loss after rebooting or flashing a new image. This
issue will be fixed in the next release, 0.53.0.
**I reported this behavior upstream [2].**
