macOS platform:
- Platform-native TUN interface management with shutdown pipe
- Raw Ethernet transport with macOS socket backend (socket_macos.rs)
- EthernetTransport and TransportHandle::Ethernet ungated from Linux-only
- macOS .pkg packaging (build-pkg.sh, launchd plist, uninstall script)
- CI: macOS build and unit test jobs; x86_64 cross-compiled from
macos-latest via rustup target add x86_64-apple-darwin
Gateway feature flag:
- New opt-in `gateway` Cargo feature activates optional `rustables` dep
- `pub mod gateway` and `Config.gateway` gated behind the feature so
macOS builds never pull in Linux-only nftables bindings
- `fips-gateway` bin has `required-features = ["gateway"]`
- All Linux/OpenWrt/AUR packaging passes `--features gateway`
CI / packaging:
- package-linux, package-macos, package-openwrt now trigger on push to
master/maint/next and on pull requests; release uploads remain tag-gated
- Bloom filter routing fix: fall through to tree routing when no candidate
is strictly closer
- MMP intervals: raise MIN to 1s / MAX to 5s with 5-sample cold-start phase
Tailscale (and potentially other routing software) installs a default
IPv6 route in an auxiliary routing table with a policy rule that runs
before the main table. This silently diverts fd00::/8 FIPS traffic
away from the fips0 TUN device.
Add an ip6 rule (priority 5265) during TUN setup that directs fd00::/8
to the main routing table, ensuring the fips0 route is always used.
Bump rand (0.8→0.10), rtnetlink (0.14→0.20), tun (0.7→0.8),
simple-dns (0.9→0.11), socket2 (0.5→0.6), and criterion (0.5→0.8).
Migrate all rand call sites: thread_rng()→rng(), gen()→random(),
gen_range()→random_range(), RngCore→Rng trait. Work around secp256k1
0.30 requiring rand 0.8 by generating random bytes directly and
constructing SecretKey from slice.
Migrate rtnetlink to builder-based API: LinkSetRequest replaced with
LinkUnspec builder + change(), RouteAddRequest replaced with
RouteMessageBuilder.
Remove bloom benchmark (criterion 0.8 incompatible with old harness
config).
Per-packet happy-path events (UDP send/receive, TUN I/O, MMP report
processing, TreeAnnounce/FilterAnnounce sent, RTT samples) moved from
debug to trace. Periodic maintenance and retry scheduling moved from
info to debug. Session state changes (established, initiated, torn
down) and transport stop promoted from debug to info. MMP report send
failures demoted from warn to debug (normal under churn).
Add dual-approach MTU handling to prevent TCP connections from hanging
when packets exceed the transport MTU after FIPS encapsulation.
ICMPv6 Packet Too Big:
- Generate RFC 4443 PTB messages for oversized packets at TUN outbound
- Inject back via TUN for local delivery to the application
- Per-source rate limiting (100ms interval, 10s entry expiry)
- MTU check in handle_tun_outbound before session encapsulation
TCP MSS Clamping:
- Intercept SYN packets in run_tun_reader() (outbound)
- Intercept SYN-ACK packets in TunWriter (inbound)
- Clamp MSS option to fit within effective MTU (transport - 127 overhead)
- Recalculate TCP checksum after modification
Code organization:
- ICMP, TCP MSS, and rate limiter modules in upper/ alongside existing
protocol-specific packet handling (dns.rs, tun.rs)
- Shared FIPS_OVERHEAD constant (127 bytes) and effective_ipv6_mtu()
function in upper/icmp.rs
- Node::effective_ipv6_mtu() delegates to the shared function
- run_tun_reader() accepts actual transport MTU from config
Example config corrections:
- UDP transport MTU set to 1472 across all configs (correct max UDP
payload for standard Ethernet: 1500 - 20 IPv4 - 8 UDP)
- Startup logging of effective MTU and max MSS values
