When a node carries the disable-ipv4 nodeAttr documented at
https://tailscale.com/docs/reference/troubleshooting/network-configuration/cgnat-conflicts,
SaaS stops sending the node's CGNAT IPv4 prefix in MapResponse. The
allocator keeps assigning IPv4 server-side; only the wire-shape
delivery is filtered. Subnet routes the node advertises -- including
IPv4 prefixes -- survive in AllowedIPs and PrimaryRoutes.
TailNode now drops Is4 prefixes from Addresses and from the node's
own /32 slot in AllowedIPs when selfPolicyCaps carries
disable-ipv4. Mapper.buildTailPeers passes each peer's policy
CapMap so the filter applies in viewer netmaps too; the CapMap
merge that follows is overwritten by PeerCapMap so only the address
filter survives on the peer path.
Two captures land in testdata/nodeattrs_results to anchor the
behaviour:
- nodeattrs-attr-c15-disable-ipv4 (on tag:client)
- nodeattrs-attr-c16-disable-ipv4-router (on tag:router, which
advertises 10.33.0.0/16, confirming subnet routes survive)
Tailscale stamps tailcfg.NodeAttrDefaultAutoUpdate on every node's
CapMap with a JSON bool reflecting the tailnet-wide auto-update
default. Headscale grows an auto_update.enabled config option and
emits the cap accordingly from TailNode -- the cap leaves the
unmodelledTailnetStateCaps strip list and is compared in full by the
nodeAttrs compat suite.
testNodeAttrsSuccess drives cfg.AutoUpdate.Enabled from
tf.Input.Tailnet.Settings.DevicesAutoUpdatesOn so each capture's
expected emission matches the SaaS state it was taken under. Two
captures cover both branches:
- nodeattrs-tailnet-devices-auto-updates-on -> [true]
- nodeattrs-tailnet-devices-auto-updates-off -> [false]
The Tailscale v2 TailnetSettings API does not expose the Send Files
toggle, so the compat suite cannot vary cfg.Taildrop.Enabled per
capture. TestTaildropDisabledWithholdsFileSharingCap covers the off
path directly in servertest.
Taildrive (drive:share and drive:access) is policy-driven per
Tailscale's documented behaviour
(https://tailscale.com/docs/features/taildrive). The previous
always-on baseline emission diverged from SaaS for every node not
targeted by a drive nodeAttr -- a real semantic divergence that the
compat suite caught once the test moved to comparing TailNode output
against the captured netmaps.
types.Node.TailNode no longer stamps the drive pair. Operators
wanting taildrive add a nodeAttrs entry:
"nodeAttrs": [
{ "target": ["*"], "attr": ["drive:share", "drive:access"] }
]
unmodelledTailnetStateCaps shrinks accordingly. The baseline-divergence
group is gone; every entry left in the list is genuinely unmodelled
(user-role caps, unimplemented features, tailnet metadata, internal
tuning).
servertest's TestNodeAttrsBaselineCapsAlwaysOn expects the smaller
baseline (admin + ssh + file-sharing). Integration TestGrantCapDrive
grants the drive caps explicitly via NodeAttrs to exercise the
policy-driven emission path.
types.NodeView.TailNode takes a selfPolicyCaps tailcfg.NodeCapMap
parameter and merges it into the baseline. The mapper's WithSelfNode
hands it the policy result via state.NodeCapMap; peer-path callers
pass nil because peer-side CapMap is set downstream via
policyv2.PeerCapMap.
The nodeAttrs compat test now diffs the full TailNode self-view
output against captured SaaS netmaps. Before this change the test
compared compileNodeAttrs alone -- the policy-only output -- and
needed a strip list to compensate for the missing baseline. With
TailNode on the diff path, baseline emission is exercised end-to-end
by every capture; a regression in TailNode breaks the suite.
unmodelledTailnetStateCaps drops cap/ssh and cap/file-sharing now
that both sides emit them identically. The file header is rewritten
to read as 'caps SaaS emits where headscale has no equivalent yet'
rather than the more confusing 'shape divergence' framing.
Tailscale models the randomize-client-port toggle as a top-level
field on the ACL policy. Headscale now matches that shape: the
server-config randomize_client_port key is removed, the toggle
lives in the policy file as randomizeClientPort, and per-node
opt-in via nodeAttrs is also supported.
Operators upgrading from a config-set randomize_client_port hit
depr.fatalWithHint at startup, which prints the deprecation message
and points at the new policy field rather than silently dropping
the toggle. The default carries over (false) so operators who never
set it are unaffected. config-example.yaml ships a REMOVED stanza
showing the migration.
types/node.go drops the cfg.RandomizeClientPort read from
TailNode -- the cap is now policy-driven through compileNodeAttrs
and the tail_test.go expectations follow.
Replace routes.PrimaryRoutes reads with NodeStore. Connect bumps
SessionEpoch; Disconnect re-checks it inside UpdateNode so the
check and mutation are atomic against a concurrent Connect on
the same node.
The connect_race regression test is carried in its final
SessionEpoch form.

Updates #2180
Via grants steer routes to specific nodes per viewer. Until now,
all clients saw the same routes for each peer because route
assembly was viewer-independent. This implements per-viewer route
visibility so that via-designated peers serve routes only to
matching viewers, while non-designated peers have those routes
withdrawn.
Add ViaRouteResult type (Include/Exclude prefix lists) and
ViaRoutesForPeer to the PolicyManager interface. The v2
implementation iterates via grants, resolves sources against the
viewer, matches destinations against the peer's advertised routes
(both subnet and exit), and categorizes prefixes by whether the
peer has the via tag.
Add RoutesForPeer to State which composes global primary election,
via Include/Exclude filtering, exit routes, and ACL reduction.
When no via grants exist, it falls back to existing behavior.
Update the mapper to call RoutesForPeer per-peer instead of using
a single route function for all peers. The route function now
returns all routes (subnet + exit), and TailNode filters exit
routes out of the PrimaryRoutes field for HA tracking.

This PR investigates, adds tests and aims to correctly implement Tailscale's model for how Tags should be accepted, assigned and used to identify nodes in the Tailscale access and ownership model.
When evaluating in Headscale's policy, Tags are now only checked against a nodes "tags" list, which defines the source of truth for all tags for a given node. This simplifies the code for dealing with tags greatly, and should help us have less access bugs related to nodes belonging to tags or users.
A node can either be owned by a user, or a tag.
Next, to ensure the tags list on the node is correctly implemented, we first add tests for every registration scenario and combination of user, pre auth key and pre auth key with tags with the same registration expectation as observed by trying them all with the Tailscale control server. This should ensure that we implement the correct behaviour and that it does not change or break over time.
Lastly, the missing parts of the auth has been added, or changed in the cases where it was wrong. This has in large parts allowed us to delete and simplify a lot of code.
Now, tags can only be changed when a node authenticates or if set via the CLI/API. Tags can only be fully overwritten/replaced and any use of either auth or CLI will replace the current set if different.
A user owned device can be converted to a tagged device, but it cannot be changed back. A tagged device can never remove the last tag either, it has to have a minimum of one.

This PR changes tags to be something that exists on nodes in addition to users, to being its own thing. It is part of moving our tags support towards the correct tailscale compatible implementation.
There are probably rough edges in this PR, but the intention is to get it in, and then start fixing bugs from 0.28.0 milestone (long standing tags issue) to discover what works and what doesnt.
Updates #2417Closes#2619
This commit changes most of our (*)types.Node to
types.NodeView, which is a readonly version of the
underlying node ensuring that there is no mutations
happening in the read path.
Based on the migration, there didnt seem to be any, but the
idea here is to prevent it in the future and simplify other
new implementations.

* split policy -> policy and v1
This commit split out the common policy logic and policy implementation
into separate packages.
policy contains functions that are independent of the policy implementation,
this typically means logic that works on tailcfg types and generic formats.
In addition, it defines the PolicyManager interface which the v1 implements.
v1 is a subpackage which implements the PolicyManager using the "original"
policy implementation.

* Fix KeyExpiration when a zero time value has a timezone
When a zero time value is loaded from JSON or a DB in a way that
assigns it the local timezone, it does not roudtrip in JSON as a

treated as a far past value instead of a nilish value.

This commit restructures the map session in to a struct
holding the state of what is needed during its lifetime.
For streaming sessions, the event loop is structured a
bit differently not hammering the clients with updates
but rather batching them over a short, configurable time
which should significantly improve cpu usage, and potentially
flakyness.
The use of Patch updates has been dialed back a little as
it does not look like its a 100% ready for prime time. Nodes
are now updated with full changes, except for a few things
like online status.

This commit changes the internals of the mapper to
track all the changes to peers over its lifetime.
This means that it no longer depends on the database
and this should hopefully help with locks and timing issues.
When the mapper is created, it needs the current list of peers,
the world view, when the polling session was started. Then as
update changes are called, it tracks the changes and generates
responses based on its internal list.
As a side, the types.Machines and types.MachinesP, as well as
types.Machine being passed as a full struct and pointer has been
changed to always be pointers, everywhere.
