Can’t access LAN from iPhone WG app

@TommyMoo Hmmm…I get the following in the Status screen
Health check:
- Tailscale could not connect to the 'Denver' relay server. Your Internet connection might be down, or the server might be temporarily unavailable.
Report:
* Time: 2025-09-20T19:46:44.486120521Z

* Nearest DERP: unknown (no response to latency probes) -
@hfederau one more idea I have, can you check, if Taislcale is avaiable for your NAS system? Maybe it has a package manager, or LINUX OS on which you can install Tailscale directly...and connect it to your accounts Tailscale Control Center
-
@hfederau Oh, the Health Test failed... right now, dont know what to say, maybe ther server or your relay, is really down temporaly..
Mine looks like this ->

Its a Mesh Network, it should work, and fall back to another node when your Denver relay would be down... Im wondering...
-
@hfederau If I compare, you dont even have an IPv4 adress that Tailcale is using...strange... so it cant work, for some reason, it doesnt get an IPv4 adress of your WAN interface
-
@TommyMoo Maybe something is messed up with my pfSense WAN setup…? BTW, thanks for the help :)
-
I have pfBlockerNG and Snort installed and running. Could they be blocking the traffic? I disabled them for a bit, but didn’t really see a difference
-
@hfederau For comparing, you use which pfsense version, I use CE 2.8.1, and Tailcale version 1.86.4, why I ask, is, pfense 2.7.2 is BSD 14, during the new pfsense 2.8.1 is BSD 15, which then may requiere, we use the right matching Tailscale version.... there is here in the forum, a Thread, for updateing Tailcale... and have an eye for the right BSD version... if you in pfsense 2.7.x you need BSD version 14, if you on pfsense 2.8.x you need the BSD 15 version
-
@hfederau For testing, a few minutes, I would disable pfblocker and snort...and reboot, just to see, if then in the Tailscale Menu under STATUS then appears a IPv4 adress from your WAN Interface

@hfederau please, check out this thread->

@hfederau Actuallly, if you on pfsense 2.8.1, you should install/update to 1.86.4 in your pfsense shell with the command with date today 20.9.2025:
pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.86.4.pkg
If you on pfsense 2.7.2, you on BSD 14, and then you should use this shell command to install/update to latest version (date today 20.9.2025)
pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.88.1.pkg
-
@TommyMoo Ok, I did a reboot and it worked for a bit. The status report also showed the info like yours, but then after a few minutes it dropped again.
I will do the package update, I am running pfSense 2.8.1 -
@TommyMoo said in Can’t access LAN from iPhone WG app:
pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.86.4.pkg
Can I run this command directly through the command prompt from within pfSense?

I will do the package update, I am running pfSense 2.8.1Yes, thats a good sign, wonderfull now please update your Tailscale version with this command ->
pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.86.4.pkg
and then I would reboot again and see
-
@hfederau Yes, I personally, ssh into my pfsense shell, you might need to sudo the command
sudo pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.86.4.pkg
and then enter your PW, if it says, sudo isnt installed, just install it from the pfsense PackageManager
-
@hfederau One Tip, as Tailscale development is often ahead, subsribe to this thread
https://forum.netgate.com/topic/174525/how-to-update-to-the-latest-tailscale-version?_=1758396205369
Under this thread, you will see, people post, if newer versions appears with the installing commands, so, you always up to date!
Just keep always in mind, you now on BSD 15 ..dont mix up, and use always teh version for BSD 15 (pfsense 2.8.X)..and dont wonder, if there is a version mistmatch between BSD 15 and BSD 14, its kinda normal..that there is a mismatch in time of releasing new versions of Tailscale for BSD familys
-
@TommyMoo ok, I will give this a try tomorrow, wife is calling to leave for supper :(
Thank you so much Tommy, I will touch base tomorrow… -
@hfederau Im confident, that after update it will work, enjoy your saturday with your wife, family, always first
