          We are working another issue that is presently blocking 23.01 package updates from being published publicly. I have attached the updated Tailscale package here for testing.: https://redmine.pfsense.org/attachments/4767

          install with pkg add -f pfSense-pkg-Tailscale-0.1.2.pkg

            I did install this package on 23.01 on my SG-3100, and it appears to have resolved the issue for me. Rebooted as well. Tailscale is running fine. Thanks

                  I forgot to uninstall the previous version of tailscale before installing this package.

                  The install seemed to go ok:
                  Installing pfSense-pkg-Tailscale-0.1.2...
                  package pfSense-pkg-Tailscale is already installed, forced install
                  Extracting pfSense-pkg-Tailscale-0.1.2: 100%
                  Saving updated package information...
                  overwrite!
                  Loading package configuration... done.
                  Configuring package components...
                  Loading package instructions...
                  Custom commands...
                  Executing custom_php_install_command()...
                  Creating Tailscale interface group... done.
                  done.
                  Executing custom_php_resync_config_command()...done.
                  Menu items... done.
                  Services... done.
                  Writing configuration... done.

                  Unfortunately Tailscale still fails to start:
                  Mar 6 05:15:29 php-fpm 364 /pkg_edit.php: The command '/usr/sbin/sysrc -c -f /usr/local/etc/rc.conf.d/tailscaled tailscaled_enable="YES" tailscaled_exitnode_enable="NO" tailscaled_port="41641" tailscaled_syslog_output_enable="YES" tailscaled_syslog_output_facility="daemon" tailscaled_syslog_output_priority="warning"' returned exit code '1', the output was ''

                  As well, I no longer see Tailscale in my package list.
                  I've tried manually uninstalling Tailscale using:
                  pkg delete pfSense-pkg-Tailscale-0.1.2.pkg

                  Which fails:
                  Updating database digests format: 100%
                  No packages matched for pattern 'pfSense-pkg-Tailscale-0.1.2.pkg'

                  Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting)
                  1 packages requested for removal: 0 locked, 1 missing

                  That said using pkg info I can see pfSense-pkg-Tailscale-0.1.2.pkg and package tailscale-1.36.0

                  Any recommendations before I make things worse.
                  :)

                    Same thing happened to me. It came up after a reboot.

                      Thanks.
                      I'll try another reboot then ...
                      Fingers crossed.

                      Unfortunately no luck with the reboot

                        I was able to install the https://redmine.pfsense.org/attachments/4767 with pkg add -f /tmp/pfSense-pkg-Tailscale-0.1.2.pkg that you posted. Got it working after a quick reboot. Thanks you for releasing that early for us, much appreciated.

                          @sabennett I had to refresh the tailscale status tab in pfsense in order for it to click.

                            Same issue - using Tailscale 0.1.2 and dependency 1.36.0 with Netgate 3100 on v23.01 - tried to install/re-install w/ reboot but cannot seem to get the service started.

                              Did you reboot after installing the new package? I had to reboot.

                              Did you also install the separate patch mentioned here? https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/13963#note-5

                                Thanks @wavesound ! I didn't apply the patch - working now with patch applied and rebooted.

                                    You're correct,

                                    My mistake, I guess I hadn't applied the patch mentioned here --> https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/13963#note-5

                                    Once I did this, reboot, added Tailscale from the package manager and it worked.
