Headscale is ideal for self-hosting your Tailscale coordination server and keeping all your data in-house. But for many organizations, the lack of FIPS compliance is a dealbreaker. Standard Tailscale and Headscale cryptography aren’t FIPS-validated, a non-starter for government workloads.
wolfScale fixes that.
It allows you to run self-hosted Headscale coordination servers backed by wolfCrypt’s FIPS 140-3 validated cryptography alongside a refactor of Tailscale with FIPS crypto primitives in the data plane and TLS relay. You get the exact same CLI and VPN workflows, now built on a certified foundation. FIPS 140-3, FedRAMP, CJIS, and CMMC 2.0 ready.
For a deep dive into wolfScale, catch wolfSSL’s Federal Zero Trust: FIPS 140-3 Integrated into Open Source Tailscale session at the Tailscale Up conference on August 26.
