How to update to the latest Tailscale version?

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

Better to update your pfSense since this version is EOL:

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

Install 2.7.2 using offline image with current config.xml on flash drive
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

@CarlMRoss Thanks, it worked! I cannot give you a thumb-up because I am not allowed.

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