Bigger changes coming later, but this should improve things a bit in the meantime. Rationale: * 2 minutes -> 45 seconds: 2 minutes was overkill and never considered phones/battery at the time. It was totally arbitrary. 45 seconds is also arbitrary but is less than 2 minutes. * heartbeat from 2 seconds to 3 seconds: in practice this meant two packets per second (2 pings and 2 pongs every 2 seconds) because the other side was also pinging us every 2 seconds on their own. That's just overkill. (see #540 too) So in the worst case before: when we sent a single packet (say: a DNS packet), we ended up sending 61 packets over 2 minutes: the 1 DNS query and then then 60 disco pings (2 minutes / 2 seconds) & received the same (1 DNS response + 60 pongs). Now it's 15. In 1.22 we plan to remove this whole timer-based heartbeat mechanism entirely. The 5 seconds to 6.5 seconds change is just stretching out that interval so you can still miss two heartbeats (other 3 + 3 seconds would be greater than 5 seconds). This means that if your peer moves without telling you, you can have a path out for 6.5 seconds now instead of 5 seconds before disco finds a new one. That will also improve in 1.22 when we start doing UDP+DERP at the same time when confidence starts to go down on a UDP path.

Tailscale
Private WireGuard® networks made easy
Overview
This repository contains all the open source Tailscale client code and
the tailscaled daemon and tailscale CLI tool. The tailscaled
daemon runs on Linux, Windows and macOS, and to varying degrees on FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and Darwin. (The Tailscale iOS and Android apps use this repo's code, but this repo doesn't contain the mobile GUI code.)
The Android app is at https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-android
The Synology package is at https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-synology
Using
We serve packages for a variety of distros at https://pkgs.tailscale.com .
Other clients
The macOS, iOS, and Windows clients use the code in this repository but additionally include small GUI wrappers that are not open source.
Building
go install tailscale.com/cmd/tailscale{,d}
If you're packaging Tailscale for distribution, use build_dist.sh
instead, to burn commit IDs and version info into the binaries:
./build_dist.sh tailscale.com/cmd/tailscale
./build_dist.sh tailscale.com/cmd/tailscaled
If your distro has conventions that preclude the use of
build_dist.sh, please do the equivalent of what it does in your
distro's way, so that bug reports contain useful version information.
We only guarantee to support the latest Go release and any Go beta or release candidate builds (currently Go 1.17) in module mode. It might work in earlier Go versions or in GOPATH mode, but we're making no effort to keep those working.
Bugs
Please file any issues about this code or the hosted service on the issue tracker.
