+### Policy tests (beta)
+
+Headscale now evaluates the `tests` block in a policy file. Tests assert reachability between
+named sources and destinations and cover the whole policy — both `acls` and `grants` rules
+contribute. They run on user-initiated writes via `headscale policy set`, on SIGHUP reload
+(`systemctl reload headscale` / `kill -HUP $(pidof headscale)`), and on `headscale policy check`.
+A failing test rejects the write before it is applied, with the same error message Tailscale SaaS
+would return for the same policy.
+
+At boot a stored policy whose tests no longer pass — for example because a referenced user was
+deleted while the server was offline — logs a warning and the server keeps running. Fix the

+Headscale now evaluates the `sshTests` block in a policy file. Each entry names a source, one or
+more destination hosts, and three optional user lists: `accept` asserts the listed login users

+reach any destination, and `check` requires reachability specifically through a check-action
+rule. Tests run on `headscale policy set`, on SIGHUP reload (`systemctl reload headscale` /
+`kill -HUP $(pidof headscale)`), and on `headscale policy check`. A failing test rejects the
+write before it is applied, with the same error message Tailscale SaaS would return for the same

+ACL policies now accept a `nodeAttrs` block. Each entry hands a list of
+Tailscale node capabilities to every node matching `target`. The accepted
+target forms are the same as `acls.src` and `grants.src`: users, groups,
+tags, hosts, prefixes, `autogroup:member`, `autogroup:tagged`, and `*`.
 
-What changed:
+```jsonc
+{
+  "randomizeClientPort": true,
+  "nodeAttrs": [
+    { "target": ["autogroup:tagged"], "attr": ["disable-captive-portal-detection"] },
+    { "target": ["alice@example.com"], "attr": ["nextdns:abc123"] },
+  ],
+}
+```
 
-- Sanitisation and validation now come directly from
-  `tailscale.com/util/dnsname.SanitizeHostname` / `ValidLabel`.
-- Admin rename (`headscale nodes rename`) now validates via `dnsname.ValidLabel` and
-  rejects labels already held by another node (previously coerced invalid input silently).
+Frequently requested capabilities this unlocks include `magicdns-aaaa`,
+`disable-relay-server`, `disable-captive-portal-detection`,
+`nextdns:<profile>` / `nextdns:no-device-info`, `randomize-client-port`,
+and the Taildrive `drive:share` / `drive:access` pair. The set is not
+limited to these, any string-only cap an operator places in policy
+reaches clients unchanged.
+
+`randomizeClientPort` also lands as a top-level policy field that toggles
+the default for every node, replacing the old server-config knob.
+
+A new `auto_update.enabled` config option controls the tailnet-wide
+default for client auto-update. When true, every node's CapMap carries
+`default-auto-update: [true]` so fresh clients pick up the default
+unless they make a local opt-in / opt-out choice.
+
+Policies that use the `funnel` cap, `ipPool` blocks, or
+`autogroup:admin` / `autogroup:owner` targets are rejected at load —
+those features depend on machinery headscale does not yet ship.

+
+### Taildrive
+
+Taildrive ([file-sync between
+nodes](https://tailscale.com/docs/features/taildrive)) is now
+configurable through policy. Grant `drive:share` to the node that
+hosts files and `drive:access` to nodes that read or write them; pair
+with a `tailscale.com/cap/drive` grant to set the per-share access
+mode:
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  "nodeAttrs": [
+    { "target": ["tag:fileserver"], "attr": ["drive:share"] },
+    { "target": ["autogroup:member"], "attr": ["drive:access"] },
+  ],
+  "grants": [
+    {
+      "src": ["autogroup:member"],
+      "dst": ["tag:fileserver"],
+      "app": {
+        "tailscale.com/cap/drive": [{ "shares": ["*"], "access": "rw" }],
+      },
+    },
+  ],
+}
+```
+
+A wildcard `nodeAttrs` (`"target": ["*"]`) hands the caps to every
+node when fine-grained control is not needed.

+Hostnames are now santised using Tailscales `magicdns` sanitisation rules, matching Tailscale SaaS behavior. This means that hostnames with non-ASCII characters, special characters, or reserved DNS label characters are now transformed into valid DNS labels for MagicDNS. This improves our previously too strict sanitisation that rejected hostnames based on our guesswork and not based on the Tailscale upstream behaviour.

+### HA subnet router health probing
+
+Headscale now actively probes HA subnet routers to detect nodes that are connected but not
+forwarding traffic. The control plane periodically pings HA subnet routers via the Noise
+control channel and fails over to a healthy standby if the primary stops responding. This is
+enabled by default (`node.routes.ha.probe_interval: 10s`, `probe_timeout: 5s`) and only
+active when HA routes exist (2+ nodes advertising the same prefix). Set `probe_interval` to
+`0` to disable. This complements the existing disconnect-based failover, catching "zombie
+connected" routers that maintain their control session but cannot route packets.

 ### BREAKING
 
 #### Hostname handling
 
-- The `GivenName` collision policy changed from an 8-char random hash suffix (`laptop-abc12xyz`) to a monotonic numeric suffix (`laptop`, `laptop-1`, `laptop-2`, …), matching Tailscale SaaS. Empty / all-non-ASCII hostnames now fall back to the literal `node` instead of `invalid-<rand>`. MagicDNS names change on upgrade for any node whose previous label was a random-suffix form; the raw `Hostname` column is unchanged.

+#### Configuration
+
+- The `randomize_client_port` server-config key was removed; the
+  toggle now lives in the policy file as a top-level
+  `randomizeClientPort` field, matching the Tailscale-hosted schema. [#3251](https://github.com/juanfont/headscale/pull/3251)
+  Headscale refuses to start when the old key is set. Move it to the
+  policy file referenced by `policy.path`:
+
+  ```jsonc
+  {
+    "randomizeClientPort": true,
+  }
+  ```
+
+  If you do not have a policy file yet, create one with that minimal
+  content and point `policy.path` at it. The default carries over —
+  empty / absent policy means `randomizeClientPort: false`, matching
+  the previous behaviour for operators who never set the key. Per-node
+  opt-in via `nodeAttrs` is also supported and stacks on top of the
+  global default.
+
 #### CLI
 
 - `headscale nodes register` is deprecated in favour of `headscale auth register --auth-id <id> --user <user>` [#1850](https://github.com/juanfont/headscale/pull/1850)
   - The old command continues to work but will be removed in a future release

-Headscale implements the same policy ACLs as Tailscale.com, adapted to the self-hosted environment.
-
-For instance, instead of referring to users when defining groups you must
-use users (which are the equivalent to user/logins in Tailscale.com).
-
-Please check [manage permissions using ACLs](https://tailscale.com/docs/features/access-control/acls) for further
-information.
-
-When using ACL's the User borders are no longer applied. All machines
-whichever the User have the ability to communicate with other hosts as
-long as the ACL's permits this exchange.
-
-## ACL Setup
-
-To enable and configure ACLs in Headscale, you need to specify the path to your ACL policy file in the `policy.path` key in `config.yaml`.
-
-Your ACL policy file must be formatted using [huJSON](https://github.com/tailscale/hujson).
-
-Info on how these policies are written can be found in [Tailscale's ACL
-documentation](https://tailscale.com/docs/features/access-control/acls).
-
-Please reload or restart Headscale after updating the ACL file. Headscale may be reloaded either via its systemd service
-(`sudo systemctl reload headscale`) or by sending a SIGHUP signal (`sudo kill -HUP $(pidof headscale)`) to the main
-process. Headscale logs the result of ACL policy processing after each reload.
-
-## Simple Examples
-
-- [**Allow All**](https://tailscale.com/docs/reference/examples/acls#allow-all-default-acl): If you define an ACL file but completely omit the `"acls"` field from its content, Headscale will default to an "allow all" policy. This means all devices connected to your tailnet will be able to communicate freely with each other.
-
-    ```json
-    {}
-    ```
-
-- [**Deny All**](https://tailscale.com/docs/reference/examples/acls#deny-all): To prevent all communication within your tailnet, you can include an empty array for the `"acls"` field in your policy file.
-
-    ```json
-    {
-      "acls": []
-    }
-    ```
-
-## Complex Example
-
-Let's build a more complex example use case for a small business (It may be the place where
-ACL's are the most useful).
-
-We have a small company with a boss, an admin, two developers and an intern.
-
-The boss should have access to all servers but not to the user's hosts. Admin
-should also have access to all hosts except that their permissions should be
-limited to maintaining the hosts (for example purposes). The developers can do
-anything they want on dev hosts but only watch on productions hosts. Intern
-can only interact with the development servers.
-
-There's an additional server that acts as a router, connecting the VPN users
-to an internal network `10.20.0.0/16`. Developers must have access to those
-internal resources.
-
-Each user have at least a device connected to the network and we have some
-servers.
-
-- database.prod
-- database.dev
-- app-server1.prod
-- app-server1.dev
-- billing.internal
-- router.internal
-
-![ACL implementation example](../assets/images/headscale-acl-network.png)
-
-When [registering the servers](../usage/getting-started.md#register-a-node) we
-will need to add the flag `--advertise-tags=tag:<tag1>,tag:<tag2>`, and the user
-that is registering the server should be allowed to do it. Since anyone can add
-tags to a server they can register, the check of the tags is done on headscale
-server and only valid tags are applied. A tag is valid if the user that is
-registering it is allowed to do it.

-### `autogroup:tagged`
-
-Includes all devices that [have at least one tag](registration.md/#identity-model).
-
-```json
-{
-  "action": "accept",
-  "src": ["autogroup:tagged"],
-  "dst": ["tag:monitoring:9090"]
-}
-```
-
-### `autogroup:self`
-
-!!! warning "The current implementation of `autogroup:self` is inefficient"
-
-Includes devices where the same user is authenticated on both the source and destination. Does not include tagged devices. Can only be used in ACL destinations.
-
-```json
-{
-  "action": "accept",
-  "src": ["autogroup:member"],
-  "dst": ["autogroup:self:*"]

-```
-
-*Using `autogroup:self` may cause performance degradation on the Headscale coordinator server in large deployments, as filter rules must be compiled per-node rather than globally and the current implementation is not very efficient.*
-
-If you experience performance issues, consider using more specific ACL rules or limiting the use of `autogroup:self`.
-
-```json
-{
-  // The following rules allow internal users to communicate with their
-  // own nodes in case autogroup:self is causing performance issues.

-  { "action": "accept", "src": ["intern1@"], "dst": ["intern1@:*"] }
-}
-```
-
-### `autogroup:nonroot`
-
-Used in Tailscale SSH rules to allow access to any user except root. Can only be used in the `users` field of SSH rules.

-
-### `autogroup:danger-all`

-This autogroup resolves to all IP addresses (`0.0.0.0/0` and `::/0`) which also includes all IP addresses outside the
-standard Tailscale IP ranges. [This autogroup can only be used as

+# Policy
+
+Headscale implements a large portion of Tailscale's [policy
+features](https://tailscale.com/docs/features/tailnet-policy-file), most notably access control based on
+[ACLs](https://tailscale.com/docs/features/access-control/acls) and
+[Grants](https://tailscale.com/docs/features/access-control/grants) or [Tailscale
+SSH](https://tailscale.com/docs/features/tailscale-ssh). See [limitations](#limitations) to learn about missing features
+and notable implementation differences between Headscale and Tailscale.
+
+Headscale uses the same [huJSON](https://github.com/tailscale/hujson) based file format as Tailscale. By default, no
+policy is loaded which means that Headscale allows all traffic between nodes. To start using a policy file[^1], specify
+its path in the `policy.path` key in the [configuration file](configuration.md).
+
+Headscale needs to be reloaded to pick up changes to the policy file. Either reload Headscale via its systemd service
+(`sudo systemctl reload headscale`) or by sending a SIGHUP signal (`sudo kill -HUP $(pidof headscale)`) to the main
+process. Headscale logs the result of policy processing after each reload.
+
+Please have a look at Tailscale's policy related documentation to learn more:
+
+- [Tailscale policy file](https://tailscale.com/docs/features/tailnet-policy-file): A description of supported sections
+  within the policy file along with links to syntax references for each section.
+- [ACLs](https://tailscale.com/docs/features/access-control/acls): How to configure access control using ACLs.
+- [Grants](https://tailscale.com/docs/features/access-control/grants): Introduction to Grants with links to [syntax
+  reference](https://tailscale.com/docs/reference/syntax/grants),
+  [examples](https://tailscale.com/docs/reference/examples/grants) and a [migration guide from ACLs to
+  Grants](https://tailscale.com/docs/reference/migrate-acls-grants).
+
+## Getting started
+
+Headscale supports both [ACLs](https://tailscale.com/docs/features/access-control/acls) and
+[Grants](https://tailscale.com/docs/features/access-control/grants) to write an access control policy. We recommend the
+use of Grants since ACLs are considered legacy and will not receive new features by Tailscale.
+
+### Allow All
+
+If you define a policy file but completely omit the `"acls"` or `"grants"` section, Headscale will default to an [allow
+all](https://tailscale.com/docs/reference/examples/acls#allow-all-default-acl) policy. This means all devices connected
+to your tailnet will be able to communicate freely with each other.
+
+```json title="policy.json"
+{}
+```
+
+### Deny All
+
+To [prevent all communication within your tailnet](https://tailscale.com/docs/reference/examples/acls#deny-all), you can
+include an empty array for the `"grants"` section in your policy file.
+
+```json title="policy.json"
+{
+  "grants": []
+}
+```
+
+### More examples
+
+- See our documentation on [subnet routers](routes.md#subnet-router) and [exit nodes](routes.md#exit-node) to learn how
+  to restrict their use or how to automatically approve them.
+- The Tailscale documentation provides a large collection of configuration examples:
+    - [ACL examples](https://tailscale.com/docs/reference/examples/acls)
+    - [Grants examples](https://tailscale.com/docs/reference/examples/grants)
+    - [SSH configuration](https://tailscale.com/docs/features/tailscale-ssh#configure-tailscale-ssh)
+    - [Define a tag](https://tailscale.com/docs/features/tags#define-a-tag)
+
+______________________________________________________________________
+
+## Limitations
+
+- [Device postures](https://tailscale.com/docs/features/device-posture) and the related sections such as `postures` or
+  `srcPosture` aren't supported.
+- [IP sets](https://tailscale.com/docs/features/tailnet-policy-file/ip-sets) aren't supported.
+- A subset of [Autogroups](#autogroups) are available.
+
+## Autogroups
+
+Headscale supports several [Autogroups](https://tailscale.com/docs/reference/targets-and-selectors#autogroups) that
+automatically include users, destinations, or devices with specific properties. Autogroups provide a convenient way to
+write policy rules without manually listing individual users or devices.
+
+### [`autogroup:internet`](https://tailscale.com/docs/reference/targets-and-selectors#autogroupinternet)
+
+Allows access to the internet through [exit nodes](routes.md#exit-node). Can only be used in policy destinations.
+
+```json title="policy.json"
+{
+  "grants": [
+    {
+      "src": ["alice@"],
+      "dst": ["autogroup:internet"],
+      "ip": ["*"]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### [`autogroup:member`](https://tailscale.com/docs/reference/targets-and-selectors#autogrouprole)
+
+Includes all [personal (untagged) devices](registration.md/#identity-model).
+
+```json title="policy.json"
+{
+  "grants": [
+    {
+      "src": ["autogroup:member"],
+      "dst": ["tag:prod-app-servers"],
+      "ip": ["80,443"]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### [`autogroup:tagged`](https://tailscale.com/docs/reference/targets-and-selectors#autogrouptagged)
+
+Includes all devices that [have at least one tag](registration.md/#identity-model).
+
+```json title="policy.json"
+{
+  "grants": [
+    {
+      "src": ["autogroup:tagged"],
+      "dst": ["tag:monitoring"],
+      "ip": ["9090"]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### [`autogroup:self`](https://tailscale.com/docs/reference/targets-and-selectors#autogroupself)
+
+Includes devices where the same user is authenticated on both the source and destination. Does not include tagged
+devices. Can only be used in policy destinations.
+
+```json title="policy.json"
+{
+  "grants": [
+    {
+      "src": ["autogroup:member"],
+      "dst": ["autogroup:self"],
+      "ip": ["*"]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+!!! warning "The current implementation of `autogroup:self` is inefficient"
+
+    Using `autogroup:self` may cause performance degradation on the Headscale coordinator server in large deployments,
+    as filter rules must be compiled per-node rather than globally and the current implementation is not very efficient.
+
+    If you experience performance issues, consider using more specific policy rules or limiting the use of
+    `autogroup:self`.
+
+    ```json title="policy.json"
+    {
+      "grants": [
+        // The following rules allow internal users to communicate with their
+        // own nodes in case autogroup:self is causing performance issues.
+        {
+          "src": ["boss@"],
+          "dst": ["boss@"],
+          "ip": "*"
+        },
+        {
+          "src": ["dev1@"],
+          "dst": ["dev1@"],
+          "ip": "*"
+        },
+        {
+          "src": ["intern1@"],
+          "dst": ["intern1@"],
+          "ip": "*"
+        }
+      ]
+    }
+    ```
+
+### [`autogroup:nonroot`](https://tailscale.com/docs/reference/targets-and-selectors#other-built-in-targets)
+
+Used in Tailscale SSH rules to allow access to any user except root. Can only be used in the `users` field of SSH rules.
+
+```json title="policy.json"
+{
+  "ssh": [
+    {
+      "action": "accept",
+      "src": ["autogroup:member"],
+      "dst": ["autogroup:self"],
+      "users": ["autogroup:nonroot"]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### [`autogroup:danger-all`](https://tailscale.com/docs/reference/targets-and-selectors#autogroupdanger-all)
+
+This autogroup resolves to all IP addresses (`0.0.0.0/0` and `::/0`) which also includes all IP addresses outside the
+standard Tailscale IP ranges. This autogroup can only be used as source.
+
+## Node Attributes
+
+[Node attributes](https://tailscale.com/docs/reference/syntax/policy-file#node-attributes) allow for device-specific
+configuration and attributes. At least the following node attributes are currently supported by Headscale[^2]:
+
+- `drive:access`, `drive:share`: [Taildrive support](https://tailscale.com/docs/features/taildrive).
+- `nextdns:<profile>`, `nextdns:no-device-info`: [NextDNS integration](https://tailscale.com/docs/integrations/nextdns).
+  Be sure to set NextDNS as global resolver in the [configuration](configuration.md).
+- `magicdns-aaaa`: Respond to AAAA queries on the local [MagicDNS](https://tailscale.com/docs/features/magicdns)
+  resolver at 100.100.100.100.
+- `disable-ipv4`: Selectively disable IPv4 for specfic nodes. This is may be useful to workaround [CGNat
+  conflicts](https://tailscale.com/docs/reference/troubleshooting/network-configuration/cgnat-conflicts).
+- `randomize-client-port`: Allocate a [random port for WireGuard
+  traffic](https://tailscale.com/docs/reference/syntax/policy-file#randomizeclientport) instead of the static default
+  port 41641.
+- `disable-captive-portal-detection`: [Disable automatic captive portal
+  detection](https://tailscale.com/docs/integrations/captive-portals#disable-captive-portal-detection).
+
+```json title="policy.json"
+{
+  "nodeAttrs": [
+    {
+      // Enable MagicDNS AAAA records for all nodes
+      "target": ["*"]
+      "attr": ["magicdns-aaaa"]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## Network-wide policy options
+
+The following options are applied for the entire tailnet. Consider [node attributes](#node-attributes) for a more
+fine-grained configuration instead.
+
+- `randomizeClientPort`: Allocate a [random port for WireGuard
+  traffic](https://tailscale.com/docs/reference/syntax/policy-file#randomizeclientport) instead of the static default
+  port 41641.
+
+```json title="policy.json"
+{
+  // Use a random WireGuard port for the entire tailnet
+  "randomizeClientPort": true
+}
+```
+
+[^1]: Headscale also allows to store the policy in the database. This is typically only required in case a [web
+    interface](integration/web-ui.md) is used.
+
+[^2]: Other key-only node attributes can be used as well. Find them in the client source code with `grep -E '^\s+NodeAttr\w+' tailcfg/tailcfg.go` or by using [GitHub code search (requires
+    login)](https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Atailscale%2Ftailscale%20language%3Ago%20path%3Atailcfg%2Ftailcfg.go%20symbol%3A%2FNodeAttr%5Cw%2B%2F&type=code).
