How to update to the latest Tailscale version?
-
Looks like 1.82.0 and 1.82.0_1 are both up for FreeBSD 14 again.
Anticipation starts for 1.82.5

@elvisimprsntr Great

FYI - on my 2.7.2-RELEASE (amd64) mini-PC, the FreeBSD 14 1.82.0 version was not found but the 1.82.0_1 version was found and installed and seems to be working fine. Was done via the pfSense GUI "Diagnostics-Command Prompt".

@FCS001FCS pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/quarterly/All/tailscale-1.82.0.pkg
-
@FCS001FCS To be clear: do we need to uninstall the tailscale package first on every tailscale update?
-
No as it will remove the pfsense GUI package.
-
Quarterly vs latest in URL path name
Always check the Freshports TailScale page first.
Maintainer has already started working on 1.82.5
-
@elvisimprsntr Someone here said pfsense package must be removed first, update tailscale, install pfsense package again.
No need for that then? -
I have never uninstalled the pfsense TailScale package before manually updating. The one person who did broke theirs. The solution was to reinstall the pfsense TailScale package, then manually update the freshports TailScale version.
-
@elvisimprsntr Ah, good to know, thanks for all the advice.

I used: pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.82.0.pkg from a prior post and it did not work for me; I manually changed 1.82.0 to 1.82.0_1 and it worked. Don't know what the issue was, but it OK for me now.
Edit: saw additional posts and the command seems to be slightly changed for latest or quarterly, I did not notice that.

I do not, I just run the PKG command and it updates TailScale. I restart TailScale via the GUI just for good measure, but not needed, I think.

@FCS001FCS All good. I'm on 1.8.2.0_1. Waiting for 1.82.5

Updated CE 2.7.2 to 1.82.5
pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/quarterly/All/tailscale-1.82.5.pkg
-
@elvisimprsntr Very good. I've got it installed.

pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.82.5.pkgAll good, connected happily to headscale 0.26.0

Updated CE 2.7.2 to 1.84.0
pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/quarterly/All/tailscale-1.84.0.pkg -
so now that 2.8.0 CE is running Freebsd15, should we be grabbing the tailscale port from the Freebsd15: latest dir for installation?
-
@brinkmann I personally am not running 2.8.0 yet, but yes.

Over on https://www.freshports.org/security/tailscale. The chart that had the different version is gone, as of 2025-06-26. Also with pfSense CE moving to FreeBSD 15, I guess the repos are trying to consolidate. However, I used the chart to pick up the url to install Tailscale from. The last working url I had was https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.82.5.pkg, but simply changing 1.82.5 to 1.84.2 is no longer working. Has anyone been able to upgrade to 1.84.2 and if so what was your url. Thank you.
