Brad FitzpatrickandBrad Fitzpatrick 65fd320aa6 ipn/ipnlocal: use the live peer map, not the netmap's stale Peers slice
The nodeBackend's netMap.Peers slice is frozen at the last full netmap
install; the live per-peer state lives in the nodeBackend.peers map,
updated by delta mutations. Three spots still read the stale slice or
paid to materialize a fresh one:

AppendMatchingPeers iterated netMap.Peers and re-looked-up each ID in
the peers map (with a lock round-trip per peer), so peers added by a
delta since the last full netmap were invisible to it. That affected
its callers: taildrop's file-target list, exit node suggestions, and
conn25's connector discovery. It now snapshots the peers map directly
(sorted by node ID, matching the old netmap ordering).

DebugPeerDiscoKeys read netMap.Peers and so returned stale disco keys
after deltas. It now reads the peers map via the new
nodeBackend.peerDiscoKeys.

pingPeerAPI called NetMapWithPeers, building and sorting the full
O(n) peer slice, just to linearly scan it for one IP. It now uses the
nodeBackend's existing by-address index and the new O(1) PeerByID
accessor, and passes the peers-free netmap to peerAPIBase, which only
reads the self node's addresses.

Brad FitzpatrickandBrad Fitzpatrick 3515b009c2 ipn/ipnext, ipn/ipnlocal, feature/conn25: pass peer seq to AllowedIPs hook
The ExtraWireGuardAllowedIPs hook was called once per peer on every
authReconfig, so each netmap delta paid an O(n) scan over all peers
even when conn25 (the only implementer) wasn't configured and every
call returned nothing.

Invert the API: the hook now receives an iter.Seq2 of the current
peers and returns the extra prefixes keyed by node ID. An idle
extension returns nil without iterating, so the unconfigured case
does no per-peer work at all.

With this, the runtime.DidRange analysis (see the ts_rangehook test)
no longer reports the updateRouteManagerExtras peer scan on netmap
deltas.

Brad FitzpatrickandBrad Fitzpatrick 72ca0cae4b wgengine/wgcfg,wgengine,ipn/ipnlocal: remove Peers from wgcfg.Config
The wireguard-go device now learns its peer set solely from the live
per-peer config source that LocalBackend installs with
Engine.SetPeerConfigFunc, backed by the route manager. Peers are
created lazily on first packet and converged per peer with
Engine.SyncDevicePeer, so the full-peer-list snapshot in wgcfg.Config
and the diff-and-reconfigure machinery around it (wgcfg.Peer,
ReconfigDevice, and the engine's full device sync in
maybeReconfigWireguardLocked) are dead weight: they duplicated state
that the route manager already owns and forced every netmap change to
rebuild and rehash the entire peer list.

Delete the Peers field and the Peer type from wgcfg, along with
ReconfigDevice and maybeReconfigWireguardLocked. Engine.Reconfig no
longer does any device peer work; it only manages the private key,
addresses, and the non-peer subsystems. Full-netmap application converges the device by
syncing exactly the peers whose routes the route manager reports as
changed or removed.

Brad FitzpatrickandBrad Fitzpatrick 7e609b2581 ipn/ipnlocal,net/dns/resolver: serve MagicDNS names from live indexes
Every netmap change, including an incremental delta of a single peer,
rebuilt the full MagicDNS state twice: dnsConfigForNetmap walked all
peers to build the dns.Config.Hosts map, and resolver.SetConfig then
walked that map again to build its reverse (PTR) index. On a tailnet
with 10k peers that is a lot of garbage per delta.

Instead, add a resolver.MagicDNSHosts hook, installed once by
LocalBackend, that the quad-100 resolver consults on demand at query
time. It is backed by nodeBackend's nodeByName, nodeByAddr, and peers
indexes, which are already maintained incrementally as netmap deltas
arrive. The subdomain-resolve capability check also moves to the hook
(checking the node's CapMap at query time), so dns.Config's
SubdomainHosts is no longer populated.

dns.Config.Hosts remains for control's DNS.ExtraRecords, which are
few and which feed the split-DNS decisions in dns.Manager's
compileConfig, and on Windows it still carries every node's records
because the hosts-file fallback path (compileHostEntries) needs the
complete enumerable set. Those compileConfig decisions also consulted
the per-node Hosts entries (hasHostsWithoutSplitDNSRoutes), so a new
Config.MagicDNSHostsUnrouted bit preserves that signal now that node
records are not listed: with MagicDNS names present but MagicDNS
domain routing off, quad-100 stays in the OS resolver path.

One small behavior change: reverse (PTR) lookups now also answer for
node addresses whose forward records are filtered out by the
IPv6-suppression rule (issue #1152), since nodeByAddr indexes all node
addresses. Previously such addresses were absent from the pushed
Hosts map and thus from the reverse index.

Brad FitzpatrickandBrad Fitzpatrick 6a635c4e55 ipn/ipnlocal: route extra WireGuard AllowedIPs through the route manager
The conn25 extension's ExtraWireGuardAllowedIPs hook (Transit IPs)
was only appended to wgcfg.Config.Peers in authReconfig. Now that
outbound peer selection comes from the route manager's outbound
table via the engine's PeerByIPPacketFunc (which, when installed,
replaces wireguard-go's AllowedIPs trie lookup entirely) and lazily
created peers get their allowed IPs from the route manager via the
engine's peer config func, those extras never reached either path:
outbound packets to Transit IPs matched no peer, and lazily created
peers didn't accept inbound Transit IP sources.

Teach the route manager a per-peer set of extra allowed IPs, staged
by Mutation.SetExtraAllowedIPs. They appear in the outbound table
and in PeerAllowedIPs (so both outbound routing and per-peer allowed
source prefixes see them) but are excluded from the OS route set,
preserving the hook's contract that the extras reach WireGuard but
not the OS routing table. authReconfig now feeds the hook's results
into the route manager and incrementally syncs any changed peers to
the WireGuard device; the append to cfg.Peers remains only so Reconfig's
full per-peer device sync doesn't strip the extras from active
peers, and goes away with Config.Peers.

Brad FitzpatrickandBrad Fitzpatrick aff605d163 ipn/ipnlocal,wgengine: move disco-key change detection to nodeBackend
Engine.Reconfig previously diffed cfg.Peers disco keys against the
previous config to find restarted peers and flush their WireGuard
sessions, with a TSMP-learned-key map to suppress resets for key
changes that arrived over a working session. That was the last
per-peer state computed from wgcfg.Config.Peers inside the engine,
and it only ran on full reconfigs, so incremental netmap deltas
never got session resets at all.

Move the detection into nodeBackend, which sees every peer change:
full netmaps in SetNetMap and incremental upserts in
UpdateNetmapDelta both now report which peers changed disco keys,
with the same TSMP suppression and mismatch accounting as before.
LocalBackend acts on the result via a new Engine.ResetDevicePeer
method, which just removes the peer from the WireGuard device and
lets the peer lookup func lazily re-create it with fresh state.

LocalBackend.PatchDiscoKey now records TSMP-learned keys in
nodeBackend instead of forwarding to the engine, so the engine's
PatchDiscoKey method and tsmpLearnedDisco map are gone. The
controlclient patchDiscoKeyer interface becomes the exported
DiscoKeyUpdater so LocalBackend can compile-time assert that it
implements it, alongside its NetmapDeltaUpdater friends, replacing
the test that asserted the same of the engine.

This is one of the last steps toward removing Peers from wgcfg.Config.

Brad FitzpatrickandBrad Fitzpatrick f831469c27 wgengine,ipn/ipnlocal: sync wireguard-go peers incrementally on netmap deltas
Previously, any peer added or removed by an incremental netmap delta
was only visible to wireguard-go after a full authReconfig: wgcfg's
ReconfigDevice re-installed a PeerLookupFunc closing over a freshly
built map of every peer's allowed IPs, doing O(n) work per change.

Instead, install the wireguard-go device hooks once, backed by live
state. Engine.SetPeerConfigFunc installs a single long-lived
PeerLookupFunc that queries LocalBackend's per-node RouteManager on
demand, and Engine.SyncDevicePeer does O(1) per-peer device sync
(remove, or update allowed IPs) as each delta mutation is applied.
Full reconfigs keep an O(n peers) device sync for now, but with no
lookup closure to reinstall and no removed-peer resurrection race; a
later change removes full-config peer syncing entirely.

The RouteManager's PeerAllowedIPs accessor backs the new hooks: its
sorted output makes unchanged state a no-op update, and its peer
filtering mirrors nmcfg.WGCfg, so expired peers and peers predating
both DERP and disco contribute no prefixes and thus cannot be lazily
created in the device, which matters because wireguard-go validates
inbound source IPs against per-peer allowed IPs.

The engine's SetPeerByIPPacketFunc callback is now authoritative when
installed, since LocalBackend's implementation covers subnet routes
and exit-node routes via the RouteManager's outbound table; the
engine's own reconfig-time BART table only serves engines running
without a LocalBackend.

The forced authReconfig on peer add/remove stays for now: the
WireGuard device no longer needs it, but OS routes, the quad-100
resolver's MagicDNS hosts map, and tstun's masquerade/jailed peer
config are still derived from the full peer set. Making those
delta-aware is the next step before gating it.

Brad FitzpatrickandBrad Fitzpatrick ff1c7ef23c ipn/ipnlocal,net/routemanager: keep a routemanager.RouteManager updated per node
Give nodeBackend a RouteManager and keep it in sync as routing
inputs change: full netmaps resync the whole peer set (removals plus
no-op-cheap upserts), incremental netmap deltas mirror their peer
upserts and removes into the same mutation batch, and
authReconfigLocked pushes the routing-relevant prefs (exit node,
subnet route acceptance, OneCGNAT) after resolving the exit node's
stable ID to its current numeric node ID.

A selected exit node that doesn't resolve to a current peer (a
nonexistent node, or MDM's "auto:any" placeholder awaiting
resolution) is not the same as no exit node: per the long-standing
ipn.Prefs.ExitNodeID contract, it blackholes internet traffic rather
than letting it escape to the local network. RouteManager's Prefs
gains an ExitNodeSelected bit so its OS route set keeps the default
routes in that case, with no outbound peer to carry them, matching
what routerConfigLocked does today, as pinned by TestRouterConfigExitNodeBlackhole in the previous commit.

All mutations happen with nodeBackend.mu held, satisfying the
RouteManager's serialized Begin/Commit contract.

Nothing consumes its snapshots yet; the wgengine data plane and OS
router wiring come next.

tsdial.Dialer.SetNetMap rebuilt an O(n peers) map of MagicDNS names on

this becomes quadratic. This removes it and replaces it with
SetResolveMagicDNS, a callback into LocalBackend that looks up
hostnames from nodeBackend's new nodeByName index (populated alongside
nodeByAddr/nodeByKey on both full and delta paths). The index stores
both FQDNs and short names as keys.

This is the same treatment applied to netlog (8f210454d), wglog

Simon LawandGitHub 28801674a6 net/routecheck: introduce new package for checking peer reachability (#19639)
The routecheck package parallels the netcheck package, where the
former checks routes and routers while the latter checks networks.
Like netcheck, it compiles reports for other systems to consume.

Historically, the client has never known whether a peer is actually
reachable. Most of the time this doesn’t matter, since the client will
want to establish a WireGuard tunnel to any given destination.
However, if the client needs to choose between two or more nodes,
then it should try to choose a node that it can reach.

Suggested exit nodes are one such example, where the client filters
out any nodes that aren’t connected to the control plane. Sometimes an
exit node will get disconnected from the control plane: when the
network between the two is unreliable or when the exit node is too
busy to keep its control connection alive. In these cases, Control
disables the Node.Online flag for the exit node and broadcasts this
across the tailnet. Arguably, the client should never have relied on
this flag, since it only makes sense in the admin console.

This patch implements an initial routecheck client that can probe
every node that your client knows about. You should not ping scan your
visible tailnet, this method is for debugging only.

This patch also introduces a new OnNetMapToggle hook, which fires when
the netmap transitions from nil to non-nil, or vice versa. This
happens either when the client receives its first MapResponse after
connecting to the control plane, or when it clears the netmap while it
is disconnecting. Routecheck uses this to wait for a valid netmap
so it knows which peers to probe.

Brad FitzpatrickandBrad Fitzpatrick aa5da2e5f2 ipn/ipnlocal, control/controlclient: process node adds/removes in constant time
For large tailnets (~50k+ nodes) with frequent peer churn (ephemeral
GitHub Actions workers etc.), tailscaled used to rebuild the full
netmap and fan it out on the IPN bus on every MapResponse that
added or removed a peer. There were two O(N) costs per delta: the
full netmap rebuild + every Notify.NetMap encode to every bus watcher.

This change tackles both:

  1. Plumb O(1) peer add/remove through the delta path. PeersChanged
     and PeersRemoved no longer prevent the delta happy path; instead,
     they mutate the per-node-backend peer map in place.

  2. Restrict ipn.Notify.NetMap emission to the platforms whose host
     GUIs still depend on it (Windows, macOS, iOS) and migrate
     in-tree consumers off it everywhere else:

     - Migrate reactive consumers (containerboot, kube agents,
       sniproxy, tsconsensus, etc.) off Notify.NetMap to the
       previously-added Notify.SelfChange signal so they no longer
       have to subscribe to the full netmap.
     - Add ipn.NotifyNoNetMap so GUI clients on "legacy-emit" platforms
       that have already migrated can opt out of the per-watcher
       NetMap encode.
     - Gate Notify.NetMap emission on the producer side by a compile-
       time GOOS check, so the supporting code is dead-code-eliminated
       on Linux and other geese where no GUI consumer needs it.

Re-running BenchmarkGiantTailnet from tstest/largetailnet, which was
added along with baseline numbers on unmodified main in ad5436af0d,
the per-delta cost (one peer add+remove pair) is now ~O(1) regardless
of tailnet size N:

and on client/local.Client as WhoIsForIP.

svc_name takes priority over svc_addr when both are present. Invalid

Instead, make sure that when a cache is available, load that cache,
before looking for DERP servers. This is implemented by allowing a skip
of ReSTUN in setting the DERP map (we must have a DERP map before
setting the home DERP), so the DERP from cache will set itself and be
sticky until a connection to control is established.

Making DERP only change when connected to control is handled by existing

    (headless tailscaled workload, no IPN bus subscriber) and
    BenchmarkGiantTailnetBusWatcher (GUI-client workload with one
    Notify subscriber attached). Both are gated on
    --actually-test-giant-tailnet (skipped by default), stand up an
    in-process testcontrol + tsnet.Server, let Up block until the
    initial N-peer netmap has been processed, then ResetTimer and run
    add+remove pairs via b.Loop. Per-delta sync is via a test-only
    [ipnlocal.LocalBackend.AwaitNodeKeyForTest] channel that closes
    once the just-added peer key appears in the netmap (no-watcher
    variant) or via bus-Notify drain (bus-watcher variant).

To support the hijack, [testcontrol.Server] grows an AltMapStream hook
and a small MapStreamWriter interface for benchmarks/stress tests that
need to drive a controlled MapResponse sequence; the normal serveMap
path is untouched when AltMapStream is nil. The streamer answers
non-streaming "lite" map polls (which controlclient issues before the
streaming long-poll to push HostInfo) with an empty MapResponse and
returns immediately, so the streaming poll that follows is the one
that gets the initial netmap.

The benchmark is intended for before/after comparisons of netmap- and
delta-handling changes targeted at large tailnets. CPU profiles on
unmodified main show the expected O(N) hotspots:
setControlClientStatusLocked / authReconfigLocked /
userspaceEngine.Reconfig / setNetMapLocked, plus JSON encoding of the
full Notify.NetMap to bus watchers (which dominates the BusWatcher
variant).

Median ms/op over 10 runs on unmodified main, by tailnet size N:

       N      no-watcher   bus-watcher

Michael Ben-Amiandmzbenami 1dc08f4d41 appc,feature/conn25: prevent clients from forwarding DNS requests and
modifying DNS responses for domains they are also connectors for

For Connectors 2025, determine if a client is configured as a
connector and what domains it is a connector for. When acting as a
client, don't install Split DNS routes to other connectors for those
domains, and don't alter DNS responses for those domains. The responses
are forwarded back to the original client, which in turn does the alteration,
swapping the real IP for a Magic IP.

A client is also a connector for a domain if it has tags that overlap
with tags in the configured policy, and --advertise-connector=true
in the prefs (not in the self-node Hostinfo from the netmap). We use the prefs
as the source of truth because control only gets a copy from the prefs, and
may drift. And the AppConnector field is currently zeroed out in the
self-node Hostinfo from control.

The extension adds a ProfileStateChange hook to process prefs changes,
and the config type is split into prefs and nodeview sub-configs.

Amal BansodeandGitHub 04ef9d80b5 ipn/ipnlocal: add a map for node public key to node ID lookups (#19051)
This path is currently only used by DERP servers that have also
enabled `verify-clients` to ensure that only authorized clients
within a Tailnet are allowed to use said DERP server.

The previous naive linear scan in NodeByKey would almost
certainly lead to bad outcomes with a large enough netmap, so
address an existing todo by building a map of node key -> node ID.

Brad FitzpatrickandBrad Fitzpatrick dc1d811d48 magicsock, ipnlocal: revert eventbus-based node/filter updates, remove Synchronize hack
Restore synchronous method calls from LocalBackend to magicsock.Conn
for node views, filter, and delta mutations. The eventbus delivery
introduced in 8e6f63cf1 was invalid for these updates because
subsequent operations in the same call chain depend on magicsock
already having the current state. The Synchronize/settleEventBus
workaround was fragile and kept requiring more workarounds and
introducing new mystery bugs.

Since eventbus was added, we've since learned more about when to use
eventbus, and this wasn't one of the cases.

We can take another swing at using eventbus for netmap changes in a
future change.

Jonathan NobelsandGitHub 086968c15b net/dns, ipn/local: skip health warnings in dns forwarder when accept-dns is false (#18572)
fixes tailscale/tailscale#18436

Queries can still make their way to the forwarder when accept-dns is disabled.
Since we have not configured the forwarder if --accept-dns is false, this errors out
(correctly) but it also generates a persistent health warning.   This forwards the
Pref setting all the way through the stack to the forwarder so that we can be more
judicious about when we decide that the forward path is unintentionally missing, vs
simply not configured.

Testing:
tailscale set --accept-dns=false. (or from the GUI)
dig @100.100.100.100 example.com
tailscale status

No dns related health warnings should be surfaced.

Fernando SerbonciniandGitHub f48cd46662 net/dns,ipn/ipnlocal: add nodecap to resolve subdomains (#18258)
This adds a new node capability 'dns-subdomain-resolve' that signals
that all of hosts' subdomains should resolve to the same IP address.
It allows wildcard matching on any node marked with this capability.

This change also includes an util/dnsname utility function that lets
us access the parent of a full qualified domain name. MagicDNS takes
this function and recursively searchs for a matching real node name.

One important thing to observe is that, in this context, a subdomain
can have multiple sub labels. This means that for a given node named
machine, both my.machine and be.my.machine will be a positive match.

Will NorrisandWill Norris 3ec5be3f51 all: remove AUTHORS file and references to it
This file was never truly necessary and has never actually been used in
the history of Tailscale's open source releases.

A Brief History of AUTHORS files
---

The AUTHORS file was a pattern developed at Google, originally for
Chromium, then adopted by Go and a bunch of other projects. The problem
was that Chromium originally had a copyright line only recognizing
Google as the copyright holder. Because Google (and most open source
projects) do not require copyright assignemnt for contributions, each
contributor maintains their copyright. Some large corporate contributors
then tried to add their own name to the copyright line in the LICENSE
file or in file headers. This quickly becomes unwieldy, and puts a
tremendous burden on anyone building on top of Chromium, since the
license requires that they keep all copyright lines intact.

The compromise was to create an AUTHORS file that would list all of the
copyright holders. The LICENSE file and source file headers would then
include that list by reference, listing the copyright holder as "The
Chromium Authors".

This also become cumbersome to simply keep the file up to date with a
high rate of new contributors. Plus it's not always obvious who the
copyright holder is. Sometimes it is the individual making the
contribution, but many times it may be their employer. There is no way
for the proejct maintainer to know.

Eventually, Google changed their policy to no longer recommend trying to
keep the AUTHORS file up to date proactively, and instead to only add to
it when requested: https://opensource.google/docs/releasing/authors.
They are also clear that:

> Adding contributors to the AUTHORS file is entirely within the
> project's discretion and has no implications for copyright ownership.

It was primarily added to appease a small number of large contributors
that insisted that they be recognized as copyright holders (which was
entirely their right to do). But it's not truly necessary, and not even
the most accurate way of identifying contributors and/or copyright
holders.

In practice, we've never added anyone to our AUTHORS file. It only lists
Tailscale, so it's not really serving any purpose. It also causes
confusion because Tailscalars put the "Tailscale Inc & AUTHORS" header
in other open source repos which don't actually have an AUTHORS file, so
it's ambiguous what that means.

Instead, we just acknowledge that the contributors to Tailscale (whoever
they are) are copyright holders for their individual contributions. We
also have the benefit of using the DCO (developercertificate.org) which
provides some additional certification of their right to make the
contribution.

The source file changes were purely mechanical with:

    git ls-files | xargs sed -i -e 's/\(Tailscale Inc &\) AUTHORS/\1 contributors/g'

Simon LawandGitHub cd523eae52 ipn/ipnlocal: introduce the concept of client-side-reachability (#17367)
The control plane will sometimes determine that a node is not online,
while the node is still able to connect to its peers. This patch
doesn’t solve this problem, but it does mitigate it.

This PR introduces the `client-side-reachability` node attribute that
switches the node to completely ignore the online signal from control.

In the future, the client itself should collect reachability data from
active Wireguard flows and Tailscale pings.

Brad FitzpatrickandBrad Fitzpatrick bcd79b161a feature/featuretags: add option to turn off DNS
Saves 328 KB (2.5%) off the minimal binary.

For IoT devices that don't need MagicDNS (e.g. they don't make
outbound connections), this provides a knob to disable all the DNS
functionality.

Rather than a massive refactor today, this uses constant false values
as a deadcode sledgehammer, guided by shotizam to find the largest DNS
functions which survived deadcode.

A future refactor could make it so that the net/dns/resolver and
publicdns packages don't even show up in the import graph (along with
their imports) but really it's already pretty good looking with just
these consts, so it's not at the top of my list to refactor it more
soon.

Also do the same in a few places with the ACME (cert) functionality,
as I saw those while searching for DNS stuff.
