IPv6 Unique Local Addresses are sometimes used with Network Prefix Translation to reach the Internet. In that respect their use is similar to the private IPv4 address ranges 10/8, 172.16/12, and 192.168/16. Treat them as sufficient for AnyInterfaceUp(), but specifically exclude Tailscale's own IPv6 ULA prefix to avoid mistakenly trying to bootstrap Tailscale using Tailscale. This helps in supporting Google Cloud Run, where the addresses are 169.254.8.1/32 and fddf:3978:feb1:d745::c001/128 on eth1. Signed-off-by: Denton Gentry <dgentry@tailscale.com>
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 primarily on Linux; it also works to varying degrees on
FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Darwin, and Windows.
The Android app is at https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-android
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 1.16) in module mode. It might work in earlier Go versions or in GOPATH mode, but we're making no effort to keep those working.

Please file any issues about this code or the hosted service on the issue tracker.
