        What are you installing that into? It won't work in 2.8 or 24.11 because they are FreeBSD 15 based.

            The pkg has been updated since. Try: https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/quarterly/All/tailscale-1.84.2.pkg

            But be aware of the risks: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/recipes/freebsd-pkg-repo.html

              Thanks. I looked like it was installed. I assume its all command line driven. wanted to setup exit node to connect my rustdesk server. Is there documentation on cli commands to get exit node configured?
              Not sure what the command is to see if its running on pfsense
              Thanks again everyone for assisting

                No the pfSense pkg has a gui component to set it up. There would be some configuration required in the tailscale account on-line for the routing etc.

                You should see the service running in Status > Services.

                  @sjpritch25 said in New to pfsense:

                  So I purchased a small mini pc and running pfsense off it. I have a small managed netgear switch.
                  I have a unifi controller on vultr that runs my controller.

                  Sounds like my network. I also have a miniPC running pfSense, but my Unifi controller is running on my main Linux desktop computer. I also have a managed Cisco switch and Unifi AC-Lite AP. I have 1 VLAN for my guest WiFi, 1 for a test LAN and 1 to an old Cisco 2600 series router, in addition to the native main LAN. I run OpenVPN.

                  PfSense running on Qotom mini PC
                  i5 CPU, 4 GB memory, 32 GB SSD & 4 Intel Gb Ethernet ports.
                  UniFi AC-Lite access point

                  I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

                      Hmm, where are you seeing that? 0.14 is an old version of the pfSense-Tailscale pkg. In 2.8 you should be seeing 0.18.

                      Edit: Ah, OK I see where you're seeing it. But the pfSense pkg is still old, from 2.7.2.

                        But anyway you can see if tailscale is running in Status > Services.
