How to update to the latest Tailscale version?

@ha100 said in How to update to the latest Tailscale version?:

@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.

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.
