Pfsense CE and Tailscale
-
Hi, running the most recent Tailscale package and I am able to connect remotely no problem so it seems everything works properly. However, after a few weeks of working, my pfsense box will fail to authenticate with Tailscale and I need to regenerate a new key before things will work again. At the Tailscale console, I have set for the key to not expire for my pfsense box and so I don’t know what else to do.
Any suggestions or ideas on what I am doing wrong?
Thank you.

I experience the same with headscale, a fork of tailscale controller to self-host.
I made an auth-key (that does eventually expire) and register the pfSense node WITHOUT an expiration date. After some weeks it dies and I cannot get it back online without making a new auth-key.
It is as though the tailscale package does
tailscale logininstead of
tailscale upat random times.
Seeing this on pfSense 2.7.0 with the 0.1.4 tailscale package
Next time it fails we need to go in the CLI and see if there are any clues as to why its logged out. IMO once logged in, it should only do tailscale up and tailscale down, it should not login, logout.
