      @TommyMoo you'll have to uninstall 1.86.2, then install 1.84.2_1, yes. you could also try adding the -f flag aka pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.84.2_1.pkg

        @veddy254 Thank you, the -f flag fixed it!!

        $ tailscale version
        1.84.2
        go version: go1.24.5

        Will in future, pay more attention, for no mismatch happens again! Tks ๐Ÿ˜Š

              The bugaboo that was affecting the FreeBSD 15 pkg repos has cleared, and the new builds seem to be finished. So, 1.86.4 is now landed in FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest ABI:

              pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.86.4.pkg

                            I work remotely 6-7 days a week and can't afford any issues without testing first and having the ability to roll back. I have a cold spare appliance I can physically swap out. I typically wait for a long holiday weekend.

                            Also not pleased about the lack of an offline installer image. Makes the offline restore a lot more complicated

                            1. Install 2.7.2 using offline image with current config.xml on flash drive
                            2. Upgrade to 2.8.1 in place.

                                I am receiving this trying to update:
                                ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libutil.so.10" not found, required by "pkg"
                                I am on pfSense 25.07.1, it is the first time I see it, I never had issues updating manually.

                                  @Wolf666, I have the same version as you and the same problem. Found this solution with Grok:

                                  fetch https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.88.3_1.pkg

                                  IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes pkg-static add -f tailscale-1.88.3_1.pkg

                                  It may be possible to do it in one step,
                                  IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes pkg-static add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.88.3.pkg

                                      @Wolf666, Thumbs up to Grok AI. It beat ChatGPT and Claude to the answer from the start.

                                        Finally took the plunge and installed CE 2.8.1 on a spare appliance and updated to 1.88.3_2
