Wasn't the case for me. Even though I stopped the Tailscale service before updating, I still had to reauthenticate using the existing key. Thankfully it didn't take much time to fix thanks to the discussion here.

It's weird that it's so unpredictable though.

Updated to version 1.96.4_1, no issues, no errors.

System: pfSense+ 26.03, Tailscale Package 0.1.9_2, Package Dependencies: tailscale-1.94.1, Freshports-tailscaled version 1.96.4_1

I’ve seen unpredictable behavior since I started doing FreshPorts updates on pfSense+ 24.x. What has worked better for me is stopping the service before the update and restarting it afterward. After reboots, I’ve sometimes had to run some version of service tailscaled stop, service tailscaled start, and tailscale up to get things stable again.

Updated to version 1.96.4_2

service tailscaled stop

fetch https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:16:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.96.4_2.pkg || exit 1 && pkg-static add -f tailscale-1.96.4_2.pkg && rm -f tailscale-1.96.4_2.pkg && service tailscaled start

After upgrading pfSense+ to 26.03, I added advertised routes in the Tailscale web GUI, and there have been no issues with Tailscale updates or pfSense reboots since then.
