It can’t see the contents of connections but it records all the metadata. You know a lot about what the contents are going to be based on the ports. The default configuration of Tailscale will also collect all your DNS requests.
From the issue:

I'm slightly confused about this part of the ticket. If you're using Tailscale DNS, how do you avoid sending Tailscale information about your internet browsing?
> If you're using Tailscale DNS, how do you avoid sending Tailscale information about your internet browsing?
You can't.
Then I'm struggling with the ticket in question: how do you use the Tailscale DNS service without sending Tailscale any data at all?
This is completely unacceptable for a service like tailscale to not offer an easy way to opt out of all logs. Uninstalling it now from all my machines.
