How could it possibly work otherwise? Tailscale owns the WireGuard connection, so it gets raw packets from WireGuard before the kernel.

It could work like a full userspace network stack, getting the packets on the wire before (instead of) the kernel (network stack)?

How? (I can think of ways, and they're all horrible).

The fact that all the ways are horrible is indeed why I was so surprised to (mis)read tailscale as having such capabilities... I'm happy I misunderstood.
