We don't use the port that wireguard-go passes to us (via magicsock.connBind.Open). We ignore it entirely and use the port we selected. When we tell wireguard-go that we're changing the listen_port, it calls connBind.Close and then connBind.Open. And in the meantime, it stops calling the receive functions, which means that we stop receiving and processing UDP and DERP packets. And that is Very Bad. That was never a problem prior to b3ceca1dd7d7a1a6f9ddab136a4e12900e976333, because we passed the SkipBindUpdate flag to our wireguard-go fork, which told wireguard-go not to re-bind on listen_port changes. That commit eliminated the SkipBindUpdate flag. We could write a bunch of code to work around the gap. We could add background readers that process UDP and DERP packets when wireguard-go isn't. But it's simpler to never create the conditions in which wireguard-go rebinds. The other scenario in which wireguard-go re-binds is device.Down. Conveniently, we never call device.Down. We go from device.Up to device.Close, and the latter only when we're shutting down a magicsock.Conn completely.

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.
Bugs
Please file any issues about this code or the hosted service on the issue tracker.
Contributing
PRs welcome! But please file bugs. Commit messages should reference bugs.
