mdnsResponder at least as of macOS Sequoia does not find NXDOMAIN responses to these dns-sd PTR queries acceptable unless they include the question section in the response. This was found debugging #13511, once we turned on additional diagnostic reporting from mdnsResponder we witnessed: ``` Received unacceptable 12-byte response from 100.100.100.100 over UDP via utun6/27 -- id: 0x7F41 (32577), flags: 0x8183 (R/Query, RD, RA, NXDomain), counts: 0/0/0/0, ``` If the response includes a question section, the resposnes are acceptable, e.g.: ``` Received acceptable 59-byte response from 8.8.8.8 over UDP via en0/17 -- id: 0x2E55 (11861), flags: 0x8183 (R/Query, RD, RA, NXDomain), counts: 1/0/0/0, ``` This may be contributing to an issue under diagnosis in #13511 wherein some combination of conditions results in mdnsResponder no longer answering DNS queries correctly to applications on the system for extended periods of time (multiple minutes), while dig against quad-100 provides correct responses for those same domains. If additional debug logging is enabled in mdnsResponder we see it reporting: ``` Penalizing server 100.100.100.100 for 60 seconds ``` It is also possible that the reason that macOS & iOS never "stopped spamming" these queries is that they have never been replied to with acceptable responses. It is not clear if this special case handling of dns-sd PTR queries was ever beneficial, and given this evidence may have always been harmful. If we subsequently observe that the queries settle down now that they have acceptable responses, we should remove these special cases - making upstream queries very occasionally isn't a lot of battery, so we should be better off having to maintain less special cases and avoid bugs of this class.

Tailscale
Private WireGuard® networks made easy
Overview
This repository contains the majority of Tailscale's open source code.
Notably, it includes the tailscaled daemon and
the tailscale CLI tool. The tailscaled daemon runs on Linux, Windows,
macOS, and to varying degrees
on FreeBSD and OpenBSD. The Tailscale iOS and Android apps use this repo's
code, but this repo doesn't contain the mobile GUI code.
Other Tailscale repos of note:
- the Android app is at https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-android
- the Synology package is at https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-synology
- the QNAP package is at https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-qpkg
- the Chocolatey packaging is at https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-chocolatey
For background on which parts of Tailscale are open source and why, see https://tailscale.com/opensource/.
Using
We serve packages for a variety of distros and platforms 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. The GUI wrappers on non-open source platforms are themselves not open source.
Building
We always require the latest Go release, currently Go 1.23. (While we build releases with our Go fork, its use is not required.)
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.
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.
We require Developer Certificate of
Origin
Signed-off-by lines in commits.
See git log for our commit message style. It's basically the same as
Go's style.
