Brad Fitzpatrick 0a1eb8c4da ipn/ipnlocal: don't answer single-label names from quad-100
Since 7e609b258 (v1.102), quad-100 looks up MagicDNS names in
nodeBackend.nodeByName, which also holds short-name keys for in-process
dials. So a query for "foo." matched peer "foo.tail-scale.ts.net" and
was answered with its Tailscale IP. 1ec348784 fixed that for MagicDNS
off; this fixes it for MagicDNS on, too, matching pre-1.102 behavior.
The OS applies the search domain to short names before they reach
quad-100, so a single-label query is a root zone name, not a tailnet
name, and must be forwarded (e.g. to LAN mDNS/LLMNR or a global
nameserver). Short names still work for in-process dials via
NodeByName.

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.
