Tailscale package not showing updates available
-
Hello All:
My Tailscale on 6100MAX on 23.05.1 has not shown a Tailscale update in a long time. Still at 0.1.4.
The Tailscale package dependency is 1.52.1.
Tailscale is contantly updating their software and I am keeping our windows and linux clients and servers updated but pfSense rarely seems to need updating.
Any thoughts on this.
Must a port be done manually since Tailscale does not seem to have a native BSD version and the ports are not beeing kept up?
Thanks,
Eric

Update.
I updated to 23.09.1 and the Tailscale version and dependency remained the same.
I see there is an update available to go to 24.03 which I will try later today.

I manually updated the Tailscale client on CE to the latest version, 1.68.1

@elvisimprsntr Thanks.
I wasn't aware of this thread.
My concern is that while this will work on the instance I have running on an Intel PC (my test environment), the real 6100MAX is an Intel Atom CPU and I don't see that build. I am also concerned with Netgate's warnings on this page:

@elvisimprsntr Yes, I was looking into that and it is what I found as well.
My problem is that my dev system on the Intel Xeon PC is sitting next to me at home. Working from home. My 6100MAX is 1 hour 45 minutes away. If I screw it up, then I might have to do a 3 plus hour round trip. Now I can connect to it via other methods, not just Tailscale. I can RDP to Office server then bring up local network IP to get in or use Wireguard from home. But I am trying to observe some Config Management on the Office device. I may give it a try.

That's why have I have IPSec as a fail safe backup.
