How to update to the latest Tailscale version?
-
Awesome. Thanks @mhache Works on 1.34.2 as well.

Tailscale binary has been updated in our ports tree. No need to side-load the binary package :)
-
Thank you!
Any chance we'll get 1.36.0 also released today? They made some significant improvements to Wireguard throughput:

@wavesound Not necessary for the old pfSense versions on FreeBSD12 as those would have to be backported or provided from upstream. Latest upstream is IMHO 1.34.2 as posted above. No .35 or .36 there (yet?). So you have to wait until it drops into the official ports/packages. Besides that, their blog mentions that those changes were to wireguard-go and the linux implementation. So BSD variant will most likely take a bit time.

I submitted a patch upstream fro 1.36.0 It is now available on pfSense 2.7 snapshots, will backport to current stable for CE and Plus today.
-
@cmcdonald That's only for CE-dev, right? Can't see that on plus-beta currently, but I'm also not seeing pfBlocker's 3.2.0 on there either, so assuming the packages for plus are a bit delayed currently?
Cheers for the quick upgrade!

@jegr Plus BETA is frozen until we release RC soon(
)2.6.0 and 22.05 now have the latest tailscale binary as above.

@cmcdonald
This is awesome! -
@cmcdonald Just a quick heads up. The package update process always seems to fail on my Netgate 3100. I have to re-install the package after the update to get Tailscale working.
-
@wavesound I just update mine to 1.36 on an SG-4860 and everything went fine! I'm glad we're finally catching up of the official releases :)

I'm still showing 1.32.2
pfSense-pkg-Tailscale 0.1.1_1 pfSense package Tailscale
tailscale 1.32.2 Mesh VPN that makes it easy to connect your devicesI updated to the latest version, and even tried removing and reinstalling the package. Shouldn't it be at 1.36?
I'm on 22.05 of pfsense on a 6100
-
@tariqali I think yesterday it was still showing 1.32.2 for me as well but today 1.36
Double-checked on the Tailscale site and my device is showing 1.36 there as well.
I simply updated through package manager, not the side loading technique listed further up. -
@mcding My suspicion is that it is related to the architecture of the system. My SG-3100 appliance is on ARM while yours is on Intel amd64.
-
Not surprisingly I had to manually delete the version I've installed the same way. PFSenses WebUI said 1.36.0 , but tailscales said 1.34.2.
I've deleted the package from package manager, and the manually.
pkg delete tailscale-1.34.2Then I could install it, and I got 1.36.0. Configurations remained.
-
@lbm_ that worked for me too, thanks for the tip!

Hi all,
Now that we have been running 23.01 on FreeBSD 14 for a while, I was wondering if there's any chance the Tailscale package might get updated more frequently. The packager manager version is still on 1.36 (~7 versions behind). While there is the workaround posted further up, I wouldn't mind staying the package manager path for convenience purposes. Or is the workaround now the 'official' way to get the latest version?
@cmcdonald seems to post commits to the latest version on https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/commits/devel/security/tailscale but I am just not sure what pace of updates we can expect on the package version going forward.
Does anyone have more insights on this? :)
-
Yes, it would be great if the package is being updated more frequently. The latest versions do have some great improvements.

When does 1.40.0 get pushed out to our boxes?
-
Hopefully soon.
Some very good improvements in the latest version. -
@cmcdonald hate to ping you but was wondering if this was gonna get pushed out package wise!
