                Wow, they updated fast. I saw that 1.102.2 had hit the repo this morning but when I tried to download the package, it wasn't available yet. Glad to know it got blobbed quickly.

                      Updated CE 2.8.1 to 1.102.3

                      Note: VPN on demand issue still open, Only reported to affect Mac and iOS at this time. Github Issue Link

                      Freshports

                      pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.102.3.pkg
                      

                      Changelog

                      @D4nt33 This should fix your issue. Most of the time, the pkg site giving a 404 error means that it's an older version that has been removed. Best bet is always to check Freshports for the latest version for your platform and architecture.

                            Just in case it wasn't obvious (and for any potential people searching from Google), nexus_user99 is one of those pesky spam bots. The post from elvisimprsntr before it is the most up-to-date instructions for updating Tailscale on PfSense as the built-in package manager for PfSense holds a woefully outdated version of Tailscale.

                            EDIT: spam bot dealt with by forum mods.

                              Not sure if anyone else faced this issue? I seem to be having certificate verification issues when I run this command lately

                              Certificate verification failed for /C=US/O=Internet Security Research Group/CN=ISRG Root X2
                              10B02611F71B0000:error:0A000086:SSL routines:tls_post_process_server_certificate:certificate verify failed:/var/jenkins/workspace/pfSense-Plus-snapshots-26_07-main/sources/FreeBSD-src-plus-RELENG_26_07/crypto/openssl/ssl/statem/statem_clnt.c:2125:

                              pkg: https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.102.3_1.pkg: Authentication error
                              

                              But I've been able to get around it using this at the beginning of the update command:

                              env SSL_NO_VERIFY_PEER=1
                              

                              Full command:

                              env SSL_NO_VERIFY_PEER=1 pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.102.3_1.pkg
                              

                              Incase anyone else is facing a similar issue, hope this helps.

                                @tariqali I'm seeing the same thing, I'm not sure if there is something wrong with the upstream peer

                                  Does the command below work without generating an error?

                                  export IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes
                                  export PKG_ENV='{SSL_CA_CERT_FILE: "/etc/ssl/cert.pem"}'
                                  pkg add https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:16:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.102.3_1.pkg

                                          You can do it also from GUI. Just run in sequence:

                                          fetch https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:16:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.102.3_1.pkg
                                          
                                          env SSL_CA_CERT_FILE="/etc/ssl/cert.pem" pkg add -f tailscale-1.102.3_1.pkg
                                          

                                          ISP FTTH PPPoE 1000/300 Mbps
