      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...

              Custom commands...

              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.
