      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.
