Not sure about tailscale coordination server but once you establish connection to a headscale server, the clients don't strictly need headscale after that (although it's recommended to keep it active). So, maybe the only difference is headscale acts as a relay for once
- John23832 1y agoHeadscale is just a open source implementation of the Tailscale coordination server. The coordination server just provides the IPs by which you use wireguard to connect. It can see that metadata (what machines are in a tailnet), but not anything else.
- udev4096 1y agoI am well aware of what headscale is. Why would I even mention it if I didn't know about it? How about stop commenting just for the sake of it? Coordination server does a lot apart from distributing IPs to the clients. Read the goddamn docs before spreading misinformation

Coordination server does a lot apart from distributing IPs to the clients. But in general, lmao. Chill out bro. edit: Looking through your comments, I see that this is common. > Read the goddamn docs before spreading misinformation https://tailscale.com/kb/1155/terminology-and-concepts#coordination-server https://tailscale.com/kb/1155/terminology-and-concepts#coord...
