      Is this still possible?, I seem to get nothing but pkg: An error occurred while fetching package
      in pfsense 2.7.2 trying any of the above urls and 404 errors when trying the pkg urls direct.

      I have searched on the freeBSD package system and the links seem to just go around in circles with no valid pkg at the end of them.

      I have tried editing the freeBSD repo in pfsense and changing the enabled to yes , 2 places, am I missing something here?

      I do not normally use any 3rd party or out of band apps on production firewalls but the subnet routing I have on a synology with the same package is 10-20 times slower than the pfsense+ version 1.76 and the CE version 1.54 is no longer supported by headscale. I have about 8 CE boxes and 6 Plus boxes, be good if I could get them all up to latest tailscale and ditch the synology sloth :-D

        @PsyMan2000 I don't remember which BSD version, i.e. 14 or 15, 2.7.2 is running but these links/cmds should work. There also seems to be a new version coming soon. Also these are for amd64 cpus and not arm. You can also check if the link is working by removing the pkg add from the beginning of the cmd and pasting the link into a browser.

        BSD 14
        pkg add https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.80.0_1.pkg

        BSD 15
        pkg add https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.80.0.pkg

          I have been having random issues with tailscale not working correctly from my iPhone to my pfsense exit node for quite awhile now.

          Are there any downsides to upgrading the tailscale package this way? Would I be able to go back to the official package at some point?

            None that I have experienced so far.

            Would I be able to go back to the official package at some point?
            

            Yes you can uninstall the manual update and the official release from the package manager. Then just reinstall the official release again from the package manager.

              @smurph82 Thanks for that, only just had time to revisit this, that seems to work great. Also seems to advertise the routes OK with the latest headscale docker based server so all is good.

              I did try using the command via the GUI first but the hit Y stopped play, console shell worked though. Must look for the -y flag option when I remember :-)

              I also had to use the -f flag to force the install as without that it told me the latest was already installed (1.54)

              pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.80.0_1.pkg
              

              Thats what got it over the line

              Thanks again

                                      For some reason the developer pulled the amd64 1.82.0 release for FreeBSD 14. I haven't noticed any issues.

                                          1.82.4 was released today.

                                          And there is a pending FreeBSD 1.82.0_1. It will take awhile for the developer to catch up.

                                            Is there some other place to get this package? Or can someone provide it?
