Add a new `tailscale set` flag that allows incoming WAN connections on specified proto:port pairs to bypass exit node routing. When a node uses an exit node, reply traffic for externally-initiated connections gets captured by the exit node's default route, breaking any service the machine hosts on its public IP but preserving privacy. This flag installs port-specific conntrack-based firewall rules that marks replies to matching inbound connections with the Tailscale bypass fwmark (0x80000), causing them to route through the main table instead of the exit node tunnel. Usage: tailscale set --exit-node-allow-wan-ports=tcp:22,tcp:443 --accept-risk=wan-bypass For each proto:port entry, two firewall rules are created: - mangle/PREROUTING: tags connections on non-tailscale interfaces for the specified destination port with the bypass conntrack mark. Matches all connection states (not just NEW) so existing connections get tagged when rules are installed after an exit node is activated. - mangle/OUTPUT: sets the bypass fwmark on ESTABLISHED/RELATED replies (matched by source port) so they route via the physical interface WAN bypass rules are installed before routes in the router's Set() method to avoid a window where the exit node route is active but no bypass rules exist, which would drop existing connections. Implements both iptables and nftables backends. The nftables OUTPUT rules use a separate chain (ts-wan-bypass) with ChainTypeRoute to trigger re-routing when the packet mark changes. Also fixes a pre-existing byte-order bug in the nftables backend where mark-related helper functions (getTailscaleFwmarkMask, etc.) used hardcoded big-endian byte arrays instead of native byte order. On little-endian systems (all x86), the nftables Bitwise expressions operated on the wrong bits, making the connmark save/restore rules (rp_filter workaround) silently ineffective. Changed all mark byte helpers to use binary.NativeEndian. Updates #10940 Signed-off-by: Mike O'Driscoll <mikeo@tailscale.com>
