Fix three independent flake sources, at least as debugged by Claude, though empirically no longer flaking as it was before: 1. Poll for connection counter data instead of reading immediately. The conncount callback fires asynchronously on received WireGuard traffic, so after counts.Reset() there is no guarantee the counter has been repopulated before checkStats reads it. Use tstest.WaitFor with a 5s timeout to retry until a matching connection appears. 2. Replace the *2 symmetry assumption in global metric assertions. metricSendUDP and friends are AggregateCounters that sum per-conn expvars from both magicsock instances. The old assertion assumed both instances had identical packet counts, which breaks under asymmetric background WireGuard activity (handshake retries, etc). The new assertGlobalMetricsMatchPerConn computes the actual sum of both conns' expvars and compares against the AggregateCounter value. 3. Tolerate physical stats being 0 when user metrics are non-zero. A rebind event replaces the socket mid-measurement, resetting the physical connection counter while user metrics still reflect packets processed before the rebind. Log instead of failing in this case. Also move counts.Reset() after metric reads and reorder the reset sequence (counts before metrics) to minimize the race window.

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 1.25. (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.
