        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

                Saving updated package information...
                overwrite!
                Loading package configuration... done.

                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

                              @wavesound said in Tailscale service won't start, after upgrading to 23.01 on SG-3100:

                              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.
