        There is a minor thing, Status->Tinc VPN does not show any status. Empty "Connection List …" etc

        Did you do the syslog.conf modification? After that, you need to restart syslogd. (killall syslogd && syslogd)

        The syslog modification won't persist through reboots. The fix is already submitted to the pfSense repo, waiting for the pull request to be merged.

          It's actually 2 packages: the tinc software itself + the web interface. Now you have installed the base software; the web interface will be the package I provided, see some posts before with the Dropbox link.

            Thank you!

            Restarting syslog without reboot makes tinc status page working

                please. I beg you if you know anyone that works at pfsense, harass them luckman212.
                I've spoken to a staff member on irc, and unfortunately its above his paygrade, on GitHub no one will ever pick it up apparently. so I don't know who to bug.
                tired of waiting.. for someone to click merge. its ridiculous.

                  I wish I had some insider pull but … I don't. Sorry that this is taking so long, believe me I would like to see it merged too.  I can only assume that people are still scrambling a bit and reshuffling responsibilities after Chris Buechler's departure.  So hopefully the development pace will pick back up soon.

                    Whats the status here? Will be TINC one time again a official PFSense Package? I follow the installation instruction for 3 firewalls - one working fine, on the two others with the same installations not. I haven't any TINC entry under VPN.

                      I installed on 5 firewalls, all worked smooth

                      And yesterday, I've guided one case. It didn't work. Mistake was, "pkg add" was called from pfSense UI, the way I never used myself

                      Doing it the common way I did, via ssh with

                      sudo pkg add -f ...

                      Fixed the situation. Precondition: sudo package must be installed

                      If you tried with gui, you can try with putty or ssh, just do not forget '-f' to force reinstall

                          Hi,

                          I believe it should work basically on any architecture, the package I prepared is not hard-wired for anything special, it just depends on the tinc package itself. As long as the original package is available for i386, I think it should work. I don't have such a system to test though.

                          I think it doesn't:

                          pkg add https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4512442/pfSense-pkg-tinc-1.0.28.txz
Fetching pfSense-pkg-tinc-1.0.28.txz: 100%   18 KiB  18.3kB/s    00:01

pkg: wrong architecture: FreeBSD:10:amd64 instead of FreeBSD:10:i386

Failed to install the following 1 package(s): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4512442/pfSense-pkg-tinc-1.0.28.txz

                          Any ideas how to install it on a 32bit system?

                            Great news, indeed, there is a progress.

                            dmegyesi, thank you for your work and persistence!

                            As for, "Added to 2.4.0 and 2.3.3 snapshots, after more testing it can be added to 2.3.2. Thanks!"

                            I assume, it will be some new release, like "2.3.2-RELEASE-p2" with a tinc included, right?

                              now upload the pfSense-pkg-tinc-1.0.28 via Diagnostics -> Command Prompt

                              then run pkg add /tmp/pfSense-pkg-tinc-1.0.28.txz

                              restart the box & you should see the menu

                                Hi dmegyesi,

                                I gave it a quick little check on 1 pfSense test machine (without actually connecting anywhere) as i'm not actively using tinc. So i have not fully tested its workings, but my guess is you have already done that.

                                From what i see it looks valid except you should indeed drop 'tincd' binary from the pfSense package 'makefile' the package dependency will indeed take care of that.

                                For testing i used "pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:64/release_3/All/tinc-1.0.26_1.txz" to add that package from the FreeBSD repository.. I suppose i could have used http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:64/latest/All/tinc-1.0.28.txz as well.. But anyway package looks like i remember it from 2.2 and tincd daemon seems to be properly started with some basic configurations.

                                If you can send  pullrequest on github that would be great :) (dont forget to sign the 2 pfSense contributer licence agreements)

                                Regards,
                                PiBa-NL

                                i tried to install the tinc-1.0.28.txz but i got this error (alos with tinc-1.0.29.txz)

                                pkg: Missing dependency 'openssl'

                                strange but openssl is very much a part of pfsense

                                Then i installed tinc-1.0.26_1.txz & it worked.

                                Any ideas why?

                                  Probably because your not 'supposed' to install stuff from the freebsd repositories.. pfSense has its own repository with all binaries of ports that are made available for use on pfSense. I dont think tinc is currently part of that list though.

                                    tinc is available on 2.3.3 and 2.4. No need to do any such hacks like installing from non-pfSense repos.

                                      Oh it is :o ,i thought is was 'rejected' because of undefined issues. I was wrong and should have re-checked before writing assuming that to still be valid because people where still trying to install manually. Thanks for the correction :D.

                                          any chance of this being part of 2.3.2?
