A new generation of Tailscale access controls

1. tailscale

   1 1,085 32,444 9.9 Go

   The easiest, most secure way to use WireGuard and 2FA.

   

   > For an example of how invasive this is for the average user, this person discovered Tailscale trying to collect ~18000 data points per week about their network usage based on the number of blocked DNS requests for `log.tailscale.com`: https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues/15326

   18000 data points per week seems IMHO pretty low (only 1.7 requests per minute for a whole network? Unlikely, even my Android phone does way more that 1.7 requests per minute just to ad networks, nevermind everything else on the network summed), it's probably way more.

   18000 data points is also a lie, that's a different issue - the issue of UDP DNS sucking in general so your average application/OS keeps reissuing requests if they think the UDP packet got dropped.

3. headscale

   An open source, self-hosted implementation of the Tailscale control server

   > Fun fact: Tailscale have an almost-assuredly-accurate count of Headscale users due to how few people disable the Tailscale client's telemetry which by default sends them real-time events about everything you do on a Headscale network. See KB1011: https://tailscale.com/kb/1011/log-mesh-traffic

   That is not true. We actually instruct all the clients to send no logs - since at least three years:

   And also in the config example:

   That said, I would have loved to know how many nodes use Headscale... :)
