How to update to the latest Tailscale version?
-
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.

@FCS001FCS pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/quarterly/All/tailscale-1.82.0.pkg
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.

@FCS001FCS To be clear: do we need to uninstall the tailscale package first on every tailscale update?
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.

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.

@smurph82 I just upgraded to PfSense CE 2.8.0 and made sure to reupdate the Tailscale package myself. Here's the command I used to update: pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.84.2.pkg
It still gives the kernel version mismatch but it's still fine to ignore. -
Anyone else get the following notification from Tailscale?
And what, if anything, do we need to do?
-
@elvisimprsntr I got this mail too, an hour ago, also dont know, what we have to do right now...didnt had time yet to read full instructions and what consequences it will bring for us
-
@elvisimprsntr they're updating the backend control structure to use new IP addresses. If you use tailscale's own servers for management instead of a self-hosted Headscale instance, you just need to make sure that your pfsense firewall does not block connections to those IP ranges. By default, both ranges would be allowed so unless you've added restrictive rules, you don't need to do anything. I'd still recommend verifying that they're not blocked first though.
