chi middleware.RealIP was mounted unconditionally on both the
public router and the noise router, so any client could send
X-Real-IP or X-Forwarded-For and have the spoofed value land in
r.RemoteAddr and the access-log remote= field.
Add a top-level trusted_proxies config option (list of CIDRs) and
replace middleware.RealIP with a gated middleware that:
- honours True-Client-IP / X-Real-IP / X-Forwarded-For only when
r.RemoteAddr is inside one of the configured prefixes;
- strips those three headers from every request whose peer is
not trusted, so downstream handlers cannot read them.
X-Forwarded-For is parsed via realclientip-go's
RightmostTrustedRangeStrategy so a prepended value cannot win in a
proxy chain. trustedProxies() rejects 0.0.0.0/0 and ::/0 at config
load.
Empty trusted_proxies (the default) skips the mount entirely;
r.RemoteAddr is the directly-connecting TCP peer.
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.
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.
Ping HA subnet routers each probe cycle and mark unresponsive nodes
unhealthy. Reconnecting a node clears its unhealthy state since the
fresh Noise session proves basic connectivity.
Updates #2129
Updates #2902
Add json:"-" to PostgresConfig.Pass, OIDCConfig.ClientSecret, and
CLIConfig.APIKey so they are excluded from json.Marshal output
(e.g. the /debug/config endpoint).
Replace zcache with golang-lru/v2/expirable for both the state auth
cache and the OIDC state cache. Add tuning.register_cache_max_entries
(default 1024) to cap the number of pending registration entries.
Introduce types.RegistrationData to replace caching a full *Node;
only the fields the registration callback path reads are retained.
Remove the dead HSDatabase.regCache field. Drop zgo.at/zcache/v2
from go.mod.
Introduce a structured NodeConfig that replaces the flat
EphemeralNodeInactivityTimeout field with a nested Node section.
Add node.expiry config (default: no expiry) as the unified default key
expiry for all non-tagged nodes regardless of registration method.
Remove oidc.expiry entirely — node.expiry now applies to OIDC nodes
the same as all other registration methods. Using oidc.expiry in the
config is a hard error. determineNodeExpiry() returns nil (no expiry)
unless use_expiry_from_token is enabled, letting state.go apply the
node.expiry default uniformly.
The old ephemeral_node_inactivity_timeout key is preserved for
backwards compatibility.
Updates #1711
Add a highly visible ASCII-art warning banner that is printed at
startup when the configured IP prefixes fall outside the standard
Tailscale CGNAT (100.64.0.0/10) or ULA (fd7a:115c:a1e0::/48) ranges.
The warning fires once even if both v4 and v6 are non-standard, and
the warnBanner() function is reusable for other critical configuration
warnings in the future.
Also updates config-example.yaml to clarify that subsets of the
default ranges are fine, but ranges outside CGNAT/ULA are not.

This commit upgrades the codebase from Go 1.25.5 to Go 1.26rc2 and
adopts new language features.
Toolchain updates:
- go.mod: go 1.25.5 → go 1.26rc2
- flake.nix: buildGo125Module → buildGo126Module, go_1_25 → go_1_26
- flake.nix: build golangci-lint from source with Go 1.26
- Dockerfile.integration: golang:1.25-trixie → golang:1.26rc2-trixie
- Dockerfile.tailscale-HEAD: golang:1.25-alpine → golang:1.26rc2-alpine
- Dockerfile.derper: golang:alpine → golang:1.26rc2-alpine
- .goreleaser.yml: go mod tidy -compat=1.25 → -compat=1.26
- cmd/hi/run.go: fallback Go version 1.25 → 1.26rc2
- .pre-commit-config.yaml: simplify golangci-lint hook entry
Code modernization using Go 1.26 features:
- Replace tsaddr.SortPrefixes with slices.SortFunc + netip.Prefix.Compare
- Replace ptr.To(x) with new(x) syntax
- Replace errors.As with errors.AsType[T]
Lint rule updates:
- Add forbidigo rules to prevent regression to old patterns
Go style recommends that log messages and error strings should not be
capitalized (unless beginning with proper nouns or acronyms) and should
not end with punctuation.
This change normalizes all zerolog .Msg() and .Msgf() calls to start
with lowercase letters, following Go conventions and making logs more
consistent across the codebase.

Tailscale allows to override the local DNS settings of a node via
"Override local DNS" [1]. Restore this flag with the same config setting
name `dns.override_local_dns` but disable it by default to align it with
Tailscale's default behaviour.
Tested with Tailscale 1.80.2 and systemd-resolved on Debian 12.
With `dns.override_local_dns: false`:
```

With `dns.override_local_dns: true`:

Upgrade the use of dns.use_username_in_magic_dns or
dns_config.use_username_in_magic_dns to a fatal error and remove the
option from the example configuration and integration tests.
Fixes: #2219
This commit hardens the migration part of the OIDC from
the old username based approach to the new sub based approach
and makes it possible for the operator to opt out entirely.

* config: loosen up BaseDomain and ServerURL checks
Requirements [here][1]:
> OK:
> server_url: headscale.com, base: clients.headscale.com
> server_url: headscale.com, base: headscale.net
>
> Not OK:
> server_url: server.headscale.com, base: headscale.com
>
> Essentially we have to prevent the possibility where the headscale
> server has a URL which can also be assigned to a node.
>
> So for the Not OK scenario:
>
> if the server is: server.headscale.com, and a node joins with the name
> server, it will be assigned server.headscale.com and that will break
> the connection for nodes which will now try to connect to that node
> instead of the headscale server.

expand user, add claims to user
This commit expands the user table with additional fields that
can be retrieved from OIDC providers (and other places) and
uses this data in various tailscale response objects if it is
available.
This is the beginning of implementing
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1X85PMxIaVWDF6T_UPji3OeeUqVBcGj_uHRM5CI-AwlY/edit
trying to make OIDC more coherant and maintainable in addition
to giving the user a better experience and integration with a
provider.
remove usernames in magic dns, normalisation of emails
this commit removes the option to have usernames as part of MagicDNS
domains and headscale will now align with Tailscale, where there is a
root domain, and the machine name.
In addition, the various normalisation functions for dns names has been
made lighter not caring about username and special character that wont
occur.
Email are no longer normalised as part of the policy processing.
untagle oidc and regcache, use typed cache
This commits stops reusing the registration cache for oidc
purposes and switches the cache to be types and not use any
allowing the removal of a bunch of casting.
try to make reauth/register branches clearer in oidc
Currently there was a function that did a bunch of stuff,
finding the machine key, trying to find the node, reauthing
the node, returning some status, and it was called validate
which was very confusing.
This commit tries to split this into what to do if the node
exists, if it needs to register etc.

this commit changes and streamlines the dns_config into a new
key, dns. It removes a combination of outdates and incompatible
configuration options that made it easy to confuse what headscale
could and could not do, or what to expect from ones configuration.
