        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.
