For 25.07 RC, this worked for me (run sh first)

[25.07-RC][root@r1.lan]/root: sh
# export IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes
# pkg add https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.84.2.pkg
# service tailscaled restart
# tailscale up

# tailscale version
1.84.2
  go version: go1.24.4
# tailscaled -version
1.84.2
  go version: go1.24.4

Updated CE 2.7.2 to 1.86.0, but I see there is already a 1.86.2. So you might want to hold off.

Note: Tailscale halted the rollout of version 1.86.0 for macOS on July 25, 2025, and for all other platforms on July 28, 2025, due to multiple regressions.

I would recommend verifying the DNS settings in PfSense and verifying date/time is correct. Barring that, try again later and see if it still fails. I was able to successfully run the command on my 2.8.0 install (I didn't install it because I've already installed it) so it seems localized.

Interesting. After I (reinstalled) tailscale the /etc/resolv.conf was overwritten. So I just readded the DNS entries in the Pfsense WebUI, and not it worked.
