This amends the session creation and auth status querying logic of the device UI backend. On creation of new browser sessions we now store a PendingAuth flag as part of the session that indicates a pending auth process that needs to be awaited. On auth status queries, the server initiates a polling for the auth result if it finds this flag to be true. Once the polling is completes, the flag is set to false. Why this change was necessary: with regular browser settings, the device UI frontend opens the control auth URL in a new tab and starts polling for the results of the auth flow in the current tab. With certain browser settings (that we still want to support), however, the auth URL opens in the same tab, thus aborting the subsequent call to auth/session/wait that initiates the polling, and preventing successful registration of the auth results in the session status. The new logic ensures the polling happens on the next call to /api/auth in these kinds of scenarios. In addition to ensuring the auth wait happens, we now also revalidate the auth state whenever an open tab regains focus, so that auth changes effected in one tab propagate to other tabs without the need to refresh. This improves the experience for all users of the web client when they've got multiple tabs open, regardless of their browser settings.

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.
