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.
