Rebuild the connecting-from-the-office guide on Networks - #956
Conversation
The page walked the legacy Network Routes flow: create a route, assign distribution groups, and gate the routing-peer policy. Networks is the current model, and there was no Networks version of this use case anywhere in the docs. Rewritten around the Networks building blocks: the posture check hangs off the access policy whose destination is the office resource, so the route is not distributed while the device is on site. Adds a limits section (re-evaluation delay after a network change, ranges carry no identity, platform coverage) and a summary. Drops the three legacy route-UI screenshots.
PR #7235 landed the Android side of PeerNetworkRange: the client now parses local interface addresses from the host app's interface discovery, so NetworkAddresses is no longer empty. First release containing it is v0.77.1. Scopes the known limitation to Android clients older than 0.77.1 and leads with the fix, mirroring how the iOS 0.69.0 note reads. Also matches the posture check name in the office guide to the screenshot.
netbird routes is a deprecated alias; the command is netbird networks list. Alt text now describes what each screenshot actually shows, and the check name, Wi-Fi spelling and description line are consistent.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe documentation now explains office access through a Network resource and posture-aware policy. It adds verification, limits, and public IP guidance. Android posture check behavior now distinguishes clients older than version 0.77.1. ChangesPosture check documentation
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The updated guide moves the office-network walkthrough to Networks, but the current text still contains conflicting Android guidance and allocated public IP examples that could be copied and cause unintended blocking. The PR is mergeable with owner awareness, but these bounded documentation issues should be corrected. Suggested reviewers: Poem

the zero-trust guide to reflect support beginning with client version 0.77.1,
scoping the limitation to Android clients older than 0.77.1 while preserving the
supported behavior for newer clients.

… the Zero Trust guide 1.0.0.0/24 and 3.0.0.0/23 are allocated space and a reader can copy them into a Block check, so the public-block examples now use RFC 5737 documentation ranges. The Zero Trust guide still stated the Android limitation unconditionally, which contradicted the posture check reference after 0.77.1.
Scopes the intro claim to what the page's own screenshots show, stops overstating what netbird networks list reports, restores the platform-targeting bullet with Android 0.77.1 included, and leads the Android section with the version scope so it reads correctly under Known Limitations.
utun100 is the macOS default (client/iface/configurer/name_darwin.go); wt0 is the default everywhere else. The verify section now names both once, and the summary talks about the local link and the NetBird interface instead of en0 and utun100.

manage/access-control/posture-checks/connecting-from-the-officestill walked the legacy Network Routes flow: create a route, assign Distribution Groups, and gate a policy pointed at the routing peer group. Networks is the current model and there was no Networks version of this use case anywhere in the docs, so the page sent readers down the older path for one of the most requested behaviours we have (do not route office traffic through NetBird while the user is in the office).What changed

The "Peer Network Range Check on Android" limitation in
posture-checks/index.mdxsaid Android never reports local network interfaces. netbirdio/netbird#7235 fixed that: the client parses local addresses from the host app's interface discovery, and the first release containing it is v0.77.1. The section now leads with the fix and scopes the Allow/Deny impact to clients older than 0.77.1, phrased like the existing iOS 0.69.0 note.Open
Two screenshots of the new flow are missing, the Network with its resource and the policy source/destination step. The page reads without them, but it is thinner than it was.
