Integrate Tailscale

[ignoramous]

May be possible to run tailscale in its "usermode" setting. tsnet.go and userspace.go may have some pointers on initializing the tunnel approp.

Also: tailscale-android/pull/122

Ask from users here and elsewhere.

I too would love to see this integration.

It turned out a bit more complicated than I had imagined. It looks possible but tailscale offers so many configuration options that a full integration would be a mammoth undertaking... unless Tailscale is willing to sponsor the integration ;)

I second such a implementation/integration between Tailscale and RethinkDNS.

@ignoramous if you could possibly review the conversation in my linked post above, and give your thoughts?

The Tailscale engs are right that it doesn't make sense for them to "integrate with Rethink".

I am sure, the Tailscale clients will have LittleSnitch-like functionality eventually, but not necessarily implemented like Rethink does.

Running Tailscale in usermode is something do-able within Rethink. Though, I am unsure how many usecases a "usermode" Tailscale covers, as it is very limited in functionality (as compared to running a full-blown Tailscale client/daemon).

Integrating the entirety of Tailscale within Rethink is also possible but it is its own 6 month project.

OK thanks for your insight. So for now it looks like a one or the other situation. Thats a shame! I wish I could be useful and help but I'm neither financially nor technically able.
