Brad Fitzpatrick ee029383f7 net/{pktinfo,stunserver}: reply from the address the request was sent to
If people ran derper on a multi-NIC or multi-address host, STUN replies
could go out from the wrong address. The wildcard UDP socket let the
kernel pick the reply's source address by routing to the client, which
means the default route's address rather than the one the request came
in on. With connmark-based policy routing (e.g. DNAT through a tunnel),
the reply then doesn't match the inbound conntrack entry, goes out the
wrong interface, and the client never sees it. DERP over TCP was fine,
since accepted sockets are pinned to the local address.

Add net/pktinfo, a small Linux-only package that uses IP_PKTINFO and
IPV6_RECVPKTINFO to learn each datagram's destination address and to
reply from it, and use it in the STUN server. Only the source address is
pinned; routing still picks the interface. Other platforms are unchanged.

Fixes #21404

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.
