The `main` branch might\ncontain unreleased changes. The documentation is available for stable and\ndevelopment versions:\n\n- [Documentation for the stable version](https://headscale.net/stable/)\n- [Documentation for the development version](https://headscale.net/development/)\n\n## What is Tailscale\n\nTailscale is [a modern VPN](https://tailscale.com/) built on top of\n[Wireguard](https://www.wireguard.com/).\nIt [works like an overlay network](https://tailscale.com/blog/how-tailscale-works/)\nbetween the computers of your networks - using\n[NAT traversal](https://tailscale.com/blog/how-nat-traversal-works/).\n\nEverything in Tailscale is Open Source, except the GUI clients for proprietary OS\n(Windows and macOS/iOS), and the control server.\n\nThe control server works as an exchange point of Wireguard public keys for the\nnodes in the Tailscale network. It assigns the IP addresses of the clients,\ncreates the boundaries between each user, enables sharing machines between users,\nand exposes the advertised routes of your nodes.\n\nA [Tailscale network (tailnet)](https://tailscale.com/docs/concepts/tailnet) is\nprivate network which Tailscale assigns to a user in terms of private users or an\norganisation.\n\n## Design goal\n\nHeadscale aims to implement a self-hosted, open source alternative to the\n[Tailscale](https://tailscale.com/) control server. Headscale\u0027s goal is to\nprovide self-hosters and hobbyists with an open-source server they can use for\ntheir projects and labs. It implements a narrow scope, a _single_ Tailscale\nnetwork (tailnet), suitable for a persona",
