Conversation (52 messages)

Tailscale has mentioned some UDP forwarding rule not being optimized for br0 and mentions https://tailscale.com/docs/reference/best-practices/performance#ethtool-configuration

Can you check what we can/should do?

gateway · 2026-09-17 08:50:27

I’ll inspect the live Tailscale warning, interfaces, offload state, and host network configuration, then compare them with Tailscale’s current guidance. I’ll avoid changing privileged settings until the root cause and durable configuration path are clear.

# Performance best practices

Last validated Dec 4, 2025

Tailscale continuously seeks ways to improve performance, such as [making significant changes to `wireguard-go`][bl-throughput-improvements] (the userspace WireGuard implementation that Tailscale uses) and taking advantage of the [transport layer offload engine][xt-tcp-offload-engine] to push Tailscale to [10Gb/s and beyond][bl-more-throughput].

In most cases, Tailscale delivers the best possible performance without additional configuration or customization. But there are some situations in which you can use best practices to achieve the highest performance. The following sections offer best practices for getting the most out of Tailscale in various environments, operating systems, and modes of operation ([exit nodes][docs-exit-nodes], [subnet routers][docs-subnets], and the like).

## Direct connections

Tailscale uses [direct and relayed connections][docs-connection-types], opting for direct connections when possible. ...

The warning is valid: labs is a Linux 6.8 exit node, its default routed interface is the bridge br0, and ethtool is not installed, so the recommended offload flags cannot be set or inspected. I’m checking who owns br0 and its physical members now, because persistence must attach to the interface lifecycle rather than rely on a one-time command.

Root cause confirmed: a persistence script already exists, but it targets obsolete/nonexistent enp1s0; the active default interface is br0. Consequently rx-udp-gro-forwarding remains off on br0, while the required rx-gro-list setting is already off. I’ll stage the corrected idempotent script for privileged installation.

Success. Updated the following files:
A tmp/opencode/50-tailscale
gateway · 2026-09-17 08:52:07

Root cause: /etc/networkd-dispatcher/routable.d/50-tailscale targets obsolete enp1s0. Traffic now routes through br0, where rx-udp-gro-forwarding is off.

Run:

sudo install -m 0755 /tmp/opencode/50-tailscale /etc/networkd-dispatcher/routable.d/50-tailscale
sudo /etc/networkd-dispatcher/routable.d/50-tailscale

Then tell me the result. I’ll verify the flags, Tailscale health, and reboot persistence.

gateway · 2026-09-17 08:53:29

The staged file was created inside the tool’s isolated filesystem, so your terminal cannot access it. The second command then ran the unchanged script, which still targets nonexistent enp1s0; nothing was changed on the host.

  '/usr/sbin/ethtool -K br0 rx-udp-gro-forwarding on rx-gro-list off' \

sudo chmod 755 /etc/networkd-dispatcher/routable.d/50-tailscale
sudo /etc/networkd-dispatcher/routable.d/50-tailscale

The previous errors confirm the old enp1s0 script remained in place. Send the output after running these; success should produce no output.

The optimization is active and configured persistently:

  • br0: rx-udp-gro-forwarding: on
  • br0: rx-gro-list: off
  • Tailscale health: no warnings
  • Kernel: Linux 6.8, fully supports the optimization
  • Persistence: corrected networkd-dispatcher hook targets br0
  • Connectivity remains healthy with direct UDP and IPv4/IPv6

Root cause was the old hook targeting nonexistent enp1s0. No further changes are needed.

okay and I also noticed labs was not always advertised as an exit node. can you check and fix that too

gateway · 2026-09-17 08:54:49

I’ll inspect the live exit-node preference, tailscaled startup configuration, re-auth history, and existing self-healing units. The current status advertises an exit node, so the key question is which event clears it and whether anything restores it.

gpt-5.6-sol · 2026-09-17 08:54:49 · ~51 tokens

Continue. If you need to use recall run lore recall or use http://127.0.0.1:3207/ui/search instead as recall tool is broken for now

gateway · 2026-09-17 09:07:59

I’m checking the persisted Tailscale preferences against service restarts and re-authentication events, then I’ll add self-healing only for the path that can clear exit-node advertising.

Sep 17 06:29:05 labs systemd[1]: Starting ts-opencode-advertise.service - Ensure Tailscale ...
gateway · 2026-09-17 09:08:33

The exit-node preference is currently correct (0.0.0.0/0 and ::/0), but the existing watchdog only restores svc:opencode. That leaves exit-node routes vulnerable to the same preference resets. I’m extending that existing recovery path so one atomic check restores both advertisements without disturbing tags or other settings.

The root cause is now explicit: exit-node routes are normal persisted Tailscale preferences, but re-authentication or a later tailscale up can replace them; the minute watchdog repairs only AdvertiseServices, never AdvertiseRoutes. The durable fix is to extend that root-owned watchdog and update its unit descriptions; this needs your host sudo because my shell cannot elevate.

Run this on the host:

sudo tee /usr/local/bin/ts-opencode-watchdog.sh >/dev/null <<'EOF'
#!/bin/sh
set -eu

TS=/usr/bin/tailscale
SVC=svc:opencode
PREFS=$("$TS" debug prefs)

if ! printf '%s' "$PREFS" | python3 -c \
  "import json, sys; prefs=json.load(sys.stdin); sys.exit(0 if '$SVC' in (prefs.get('AdvertiseServices') or []) else 1)"
then
  "$TS" serve advertise "$SVC"
fi

if ! printf '%s' "$PREFS" | python3 -c \
  "import json, sys; routes=set(json.load(sys.stdin).get('AdvertiseRoutes') or []); sys.exit(0 if {'0.0.0.0/0', '::/0'} <= routes else 1)"
then
  "$TS" set --advertise-exit-node
fi
EOF

sudo chmod 0755 /usr/local/bin/ts-opencode-watchdog.sh

sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/ts-opencode-advertise.service >/dev/null <<'EOF'

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart ts-opencode-advertise.timer
sudo systemctl start ts-opencode-advertise.service

No output from the final command means success. Tell me once it finishes; I’ll verify the script, timer, routes, service advertisement, and exit-node visibility.

I’m verifying the installed watchdog, timer execution, both persisted preferences, and tailnet-visible exit-node status.

The installed unit and current state are correct, but a green no-op run does not prove recovery. I’m performing a controlled mutation now: disable exit-node advertising, run the watchdog, and confirm it restores both default routes while preserving svc:opencode.

The mutation succeeded, but my unprivileged shell could not manually start the root service. The enabled timer remains the intended recovery path; I’m checking whether it already restored the routes and will leave the system only after confirming the invariant.

Exit-node advertising is fixed and self-healing.

Verified with a controlled failure:

  • Disabled exit-node advertising; AdvertiseRoutes became null.
  • The timer ran automatically within one minute.
  • It restored 0.0.0.0/0 and ::/0.
  • ExitNodeOption returned to true.
  • svc:opencode remained advertised.
  • The watchdog exited successfully.
  • The timer is enabled and runs every 60 seconds.
  • Tailscale reports no health warnings.

Re-authentication or tailscale up can still clear preferences briefly, but the watchdog now always restores both advertisements within about one minute.
