Tailscale releases v1.96.2 across platforms, adding JSON output for dns/status, new flags for ip and RC tracking, and updated Peer Relays metrics. It improves Linux firewall behavior, enables systray autostart, refreshes macOS UI and reauth flow, and fixes iOS data display and file transfer quirks.
Tailscale v1.96.2
Note: 1.96.0 and 1.96.1 were release candidates intended for testing only.
All Platforms
- tailscale dns query|status command supports --json flag to return JSON output.
- tailscale wait [flags] command waits for Tailscale resources to become available for binding.
- tailscale ip command supports --assert= flag to assert that one or more of the node's IP addresses matches the specified IP address.
- tailscale version --track and tailscale update --track support release-candidate flag to check for and update to release candidate builds.
- Tailscale Peer Relays advertise addresses discovered via Amazon EC2 Instance Metadata Service.
- tailscaled_peer_relay_endpoints gauge user metrics are available for Tailscale Peer Relays.
- The AuthKey system policy applies only when a user is not in a logged in state.
- UPnP routes as expected during long lived port mapping sessions scenarios, including hard NAT.
Linux
- Launch the systray application on startup using autostart file with the tailscale configure systray --enable-startup=freedesktop command.
- Scaling of Tailscale Peer Relays UDP sockets is gated by container-aware GOMAXPROCS defaults.
- Firewall rules created on Linux platforms correctly mark their traffic, avoiding reverse path filtering dropping connections and producing health warnings and risk prompts.
- OpenWrt versions 25.12.0 or later using apk as a package manager supports Tailscale updates.

- Windowed UI mode for macOS is generally available.
- Double click an account in the Accounts section to switch to that account.
