We're finding a bunch of host operating systems/firewalls interact poorly with peerapi. We either get ICMP errors from the host or users need to run commands to allow the peerapi port: https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues/3842#issuecomment-1025133727 ... even though the peerapi should be an internal implementation detail. Rather than fight the host OS & firewalls, this change handles the server side of peerapi entirely in netstack (except on iOS), so it never makes its way to the host OS where it might be messed with. Two main downsides are: 1) netstack isn't as fast, but we don't really need speed for peerapi. And actually, with fewer trips to/from the kernel, we might actually make up for some of the netstack performance loss by staying in userspace. 2) tcpdump / Wireshark etc packet captures will no longer see the peerapi traffic. Oh well. Crawshaw's been wanting to add packet capture server support to tailscaled, so we'll probably do that sooner now. A future change might also then use peerapi for the client-side (except on iOS). Updates #3842 (probably fixes, as well as many exit node issues I bet) Change-Id: Ibc25edbb895dc083d1f07bd3cab614134705aa39 Signed-off-by: Brad Fitzpatrick <bradfitz@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 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.
