Mike O'Driscoll 33342aec32 The connmark save/restore rules in mangle/PREROUTING restore the Tailscale bypass fwmark (0x80000) onto reply packets so that rp_filter's reverse-path check routes through the main table instead of table 52. However, the kernel only uses the packet's fwmark during the rp_filter lookup when net.ipv4.conf.all.src_valid_mark=1. (#19537)
On systems where this sysctl defaults to 0 (including GCP VMs), rp_filter performs its lookup with fwmark=0, hits rule 5270 then table 52 and routes to 0.0.0.0/0 dev tailscale0, and drops every reply packet arriving on the physical interface as a martian. This breaks all connectivity when using an exit node: DERP, DNS, control plane, and even the cloud metadata service.

Set src_valid_mark=1 when enabling the connmark rules so the rp_filter workaround actually works in these cases.

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:

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 1.26. (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 commit-messages.md (or skim git log) for our commit message style.
