      Im also having the same issue. Been waiting till the final relase of pfsense before I really dive into it, but it seems to be taking forever.
      You ever find out anything?

            @townsenk64 turned out to be a bug upstream, fix was accepted. I will commit to upstream and pull fix into our tree.

              @cmcdonald is there a workaround in the meantime, or will there be a new snapshot soon?
              I can't roll back due to needing to be on the dev version for a different issue, but also can't seem to do the initial setup even with doing CLI commands for starting & stopping.

                @JasonTracy you could grab the latest version of https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/main/libexec/rc/rc.subr and plop it in /etc/rc.subr

                      Did you have to reboot pfSense or did it just work ?

                      I went to /etc/ and did

                      fetch https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/main/libexec/rc/rc.subr
                      

                      It replaced the /etc/rc.subr as seen by the timestamp. Then trying to start tailscale in the GUI it's still the same.

                      in CLI it's still the same error:

                      tailscale status
                      failed to connect to local tailscaled process (is it running?); got: Failed to connect to local Tailscale daemon for /localapi/v0/status; not running? Error: dial unix /var/run/tailscale/tailscaled.sock: connect: no such file or directory

                        If you just fetch it like that it will pull the github webpage not the script.

                        Try: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/refs/heads/main/libexec/rc/rc.subr

                          @mfld it just worked, but I manually edited the file & copy/pasted the text from the website into it.

                            Indeed, I did now raw it. It was a bunch of HTML lol. Boot environments FTW!
