      @cmcdonald Just a quick heads up. The package update process always seems to fail on my Netgate 3100. I have to re-install the package after the update to get Tailscale working.

        @wavesound I just update mine to 1.36 on an SG-4860 and everything went fine! I'm glad we're finally catching up of the official releases :)

          I'm still showing 1.32.2
          pfSense-pkg-Tailscale 0.1.1_1 pfSense package Tailscale
          tailscale 1.32.2 Mesh VPN that makes it easy to connect your devices

          I updated to the latest version, and even tried removing and reinstalling the package. Shouldn't it be at 1.36?

          I'm on 22.05 of pfsense on a 6100

            @tariqali I think yesterday it was still showing 1.32.2 for me as well but today 1.36

            Double-checked on the Tailscale site and my device is showing 1.36 there as well.
            I simply updated through package manager, not the side loading technique listed further up.

              @mcding My suspicion is that it is related to the architecture of the system. My SG-3100 appliance is on ARM while yours is on Intel amd64.

                Not surprisingly I had to manually delete the version I've installed the same way. PFSenses WebUI said 1.36.0 , but tailscales said 1.34.2.

                I've deleted the package from package manager, and the manually.

                pkg delete tailscale-1.34.2
                

                Then I could install it, and I got 1.36.0. Configurations remained.

                    Hi all,

                    Now that we have been running 23.01 on FreeBSD 14 for a while, I was wondering if there's any chance the Tailscale package might get updated more frequently. The packager manager version is still on 1.36 (~7 versions behind). While there is the workaround posted further up, I wouldn't mind staying the package manager path for convenience purposes. Or is the workaround now the 'official' way to get the latest version?

                    @cmcdonald seems to post commits to the latest version on https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/commits/devel/security/tailscale but I am just not sure what pace of updates we can expect on the package version going forward.

                    Does anyone have more insights on this? :)

                      Yes, it would be great if the package is being updated more frequently. The latest versions do have some great improvements.

                        When does 1.40.0 get pushed out to our boxes?

                          Hopefully soon.
                          Some very good improvements in the latest version.

                              @pfsenseuser1 It appears to be part of the updates in the 23.05 Beta

                                  @dopeytree In the latest dev build (23.09.a.20230920.1314), I see this version

                                    I haven't tried the 'bypass' installation mentioned earlier yet, but the default package seems so far behind in versions now that I would like to try it out.

                                    My old Netgate SG-4860 unit is now running the pfSense 24.03 release on FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT. I was looking at Freshports, which seems to indicate I could run Tailscale 1.66.1_1.

                                    freshports.png

                                    Most links for Tailscale FreeBSD versions listed further above seem to be sourced from pkgs.org, however on that site, there is no FreeBSD 15 for Tailscale, only 1.66.0 for FreeBSD 14.

                                    pkgs.png

                                    From which source would I be able to download the latest ports listed on Freshports?

                                    Apologies but if there is any link on Freshports directly I simply cannot find it.

                                    Any help greatly appreciated!

                                      You can simply use the one for FreeBSD 14:

                                      pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.66.0.pkg

                                      Works perfectly.

                                          Upgrade to Tailscale 1.66.0 worked perfectly. 👍

                                          In case anyone else encounters the FreeBSD mismatch error below, all worked perfectly fine nevertheless. :)
