Headscale Description

An open source, self-hosted implementation of the Tailscale control server. Join our Discord server for a chat. Note: Always select the same GitHub tag as the released version you use to ensure you have the correct example configuration and documentation. Tailscale is a modern VPN built on top of Wireguard. It works like an overlay network between the computers of your networks - using NAT traversal. Everything in Tailscale is Open Source, except the GUI clients for proprietary OS (Windows and macOS/iOS), and the control server. The control server works as an exchange point of Wireguard public keys for the nodes in the Tailscale network. It assigns the IP addresses of the clients, creates the boundaries between each user, enables sharing machines between users, and exposes the advertised routes of your nodes. A Tailscale network (tailnet) is private network which Tailscale assigns to a user in terms of private users or an organisation. Design goal: Headscale aims to implement a self-hosted, open source alternative to the Tailscale control server. Headscale's goal is to provide self-hosters and hobbyists with an open
