On Apple platforms, exit nodes and subnet routers have been unable to relay pings from Tailscale devices to non-Tailscale devices due to sandbox restrictions imposed on our network extensions by Apple. The sandbox prevented the code in netstack.go from spawning the
ping
process which we were using.Replace that exec call with logic to send an ICMP echo request directly, which appears to work in userspace, and not trigger a sandbox violation in the syslog.
