Martin Minkus 4c5862376c wgengine/router/osrouter: don't clobber PF tables when adding anchor refs
ensurePFAnchorRef reconstructs the main ruleset from "pfctl -sn" and
"pfctl -sr" output and reloads it with "pfctl -f -". That output names any
table a rule references but never prints its contents, so the reconstructed
ruleset re-declares every table as empty. Reloading it silently drops the
addresses of any table the operator populates out-of-band -- a "persist file"
table, "pfctl -T add", pfctl's own automatic tables for interface groups --
and every rule referencing that table then matches nothing.

That is a quiet, security-relevant failure: a ruleset whose "pass ... from
<trusted>" rules still exist but match no addresses looks fine in "pfctl -sr".

There is no way to insert an anchor reference into a running ruleset without
a reload, so detect the case and refuse, pointing the operator at the durable
fix (putting the anchor references in /etc/pf.conf, where they survive reboots
and pf reloads anyway).

Boxes that already have the anchor references configured are unaffected:
ensurePFAnchorRef returns early before reaching this check.

Updates #5573

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 1.27. (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.
