      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.

          @elvisimprsntr I actually reboot.

          You are correct, package manager shows 1.56.1 but at the bottom of the Status tab on the VPN | Tailscale page, it shows 1.68.1.

          And when SSHed into it using "pkg version" shows it as 1.68.1

              @elvisimprsntr Still no guts and therefore no glory.

              Eventually I will give it a try.

                Unfortunately, the previous Issue 15281 was just closed as resolved for pfSense+

                Opened new Issue 15619 for CE

                  Just upgraded CE 2.7.2 to 1.70.0. Now all my clients are on same version.

                  pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.70.0.pkg
                  
                  
                  tailscale version
                  1.70.0
                    go version: go1.22.5

                      @elvisimprsntr Interesting it's marked for quarterly now. I have updated too. No issues so far... except hanging on reboot which I discovered a few package versions ago and I don't know which one it started to break on 😬

                      Would be good if the repo still kept earlier versions. e.g. 1.68

                        It usually takes a few days to recompile for all platforms/distros.

                        There is a 1.72.1 already with a bug fix.

                          @elvisimprsntr 1.72.1 is a linux only release.
                          Anyway I am saying it would be good if we could have access to older versions if we needed. pkg.freebsd.org seems to remove the old packages.
                          e.g. https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.68.1.pkg is dead

                              If you want to save a local copy so you can roll back, manually download the packages.

                              wget https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.72.1.pkg
