            @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. :)

                            @pfsenseuser1 Restart the service in pfSense. When it reconnect, it will update the version in the Tailscale admin panel.

                                @McDing For some reason, I can't seem to find that 1st chart from FreshPorts you posted. What's the direct URL for that?
                                Thanks!

                                    @McDing Thanks! It appears that I DID have the correct URLs. For some reason, that table was NOT displaying this morning. Now it is. Strange. Thanks again!

                                      I see there were some Tailscale client security updates in recent weeks.

                                      https://tailscale.com/security-bulletins

                                      So I updated CE 2.7.2 to tailscale 1.68.1

                                      pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.68.1.pkg
                                      
                                      tailscale version
                                      1.68.1
                                        go version: go1.22.4
                                      
                                      

                                      Seems to be working.

                                      @cmcdonald

                                      Can Netgate roll the official package?

                                      Issue 15281

                                          OK, correction the "pkg version" command says it is now at 1.68.1 even though I said not to complete install but the package manager still stays 1.56.1

                                            package manager GUI will still show old version.

                                            just restart tailscale service and show tailscale status page. it should show new version at bottom.
