@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 -

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
-
@TommyMoo I was able to update to 1.88, but the problem persists. I think it is my pfSense install blocking something…
-
@hfederau but the STATUS info in Tailscale shows the nodes? Similar to which I posted ? or is it still showing false things?
-
@TommyMoo still showing false things
-
@hfederau That is frustrating, if you ask me, I might consider, to make a fresh install of pfsense, I know, it takes some time.... I sadly, right now, have no other advice... maybe one of the Pros here in Forum have a idea...
Its strange, as before you did update, I remember, you saw the nodes, in STATUS of Tailscale, and now again, it doesnt show the nodes... maybe SNORT kicked in?

@hfederau good manual to recheck setup -> https://www.wundertech.net/how-to-set-up-tailscale-on-pfsense/
