Defence-in-depth fixes to the OIDC login flow.
Set the state/nonce cookie Secure flag from the configured server_url
scheme rather than req.TLS, so the cookies stay Secure behind a
TLS-terminating reverse proxy where the proxy-to-Headscale hop is plain
HTTP. Deriving it from config avoids trusting a spoofable
X-Forwarded-Proto header.
Make the OIDC state single-use: consume it from the cache on the
callback and clear the state/nonce cookies once validated, so a replayed
callback cannot resolve the same session and the cookies do not linger
until expiry.
Bound OIDC discovery to the caller's context so a slow or unreachable
issuer fails startup within the timeout instead of hanging, and validate
the issuer URL and required client_id/client_secret at config load so an
unworkable setup fails fast.
Tailscale's keys API has no separate expire verb: DELETE is the revoke.
Map it to a soft revoke so the key stays retrievable as invalid afterwards
instead of vanishing, matching the SDK and Terraform's expectations.
Add a revoked timestamp to pre-auth keys (migration plus schema), mark a
key invalid once revoked, and have the keys DELETE handler stamp it rather
than destroy the row. A background collector reaps revoked keys after a
configurable retention window (preauth_keys.revoked_retention, default
168h), so the table does not grow without bound.
With the v1 API served by Huma and the CLI on the HTTP client, nothing
uses the gRPC service or its generated code. Delete proto/, the generated
gen/go and gen/openapiv2, grpcv1.go, the buf config, the proto .Proto()
helpers and gRPC config, and the proto build tooling from the flake and
CI.
Every Go-identifier reference in // and /* */ comments now uses
godoc's [Name] linking syntax so pkg.go.dev and `go doc` render
them as clickable cross-references. No behaviour change.
Pattern applied across the tree:
In-package [Foo], [Foo.Bar]
Cross-package [pkg.Foo], [pkg.Foo.Bar]
Stdlib [netip.Prefix], [errors.Is], [context.Context]
Tailscale [tailcfg.MapResponse], [tailcfg.Node.CapMap],
[tailcfg.NodeAttrSuggestExitNode]
Skip rules:
- File:line refs left as plain text
- HuJSON wire keys inside backtick raw strings untouched
- ACL/policy syntax tokens (tag:foo, autogroup:self, ...) not Go
symbols, left as plain text
- JSON/OIDC wire keys, gorm tags, RFC IPv6 placeholders, markdown
link tags, decorative dividers — all left as-is
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.

- 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`:
```
Link 12 (tailscale0)

Protocols: -DefaultRoute -LLMNR -mDNS -DNSOverTLS DNSSEC=no/unsupported
DNS Servers: 100.100.100.100
DNS Domain: tn.example.com ~0.e.1.a.c.5.1.1.a.7.d.f.ip6.arpa [snip]
```
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.
Fixes#1990
