Has anyone successfully used the NetBird plugin on OPNsense whilst the self-hosted NetBird instance is within the said OPNsense's network?

Basically the title. I'm assuming that since the A record (netbird.subdomain.tld) points to itself according to OPNsense that there's some error happening when trying to authenticate.

Or is there anything else I need to configure? I keep getting the "failed creating connection to Management Service: create connection: dial context: context deadline exceeded" error.

I prefer not to use a VPS or setup a NetBird instance outside of my main network since that means paying for a service or needing to buy new hardware.

+) Informational logs say "transport: authentication handshake failed: tls: failed to verify certificate: x509: certificate is valid for OPNsense.internal, not netbird.subdomain.tld". So I guess my assumption was correct in that the error is being caused since it's being pointed to itself. Is there any other way to resolve this other than the insane method which is to replace the default certificate on OPNsense with Netbird's?
