        @pfsenseuser1 Restart the service in pfSense. When it reconnect, it will update the version in the Tailscale admin panel.

            @McDing For some reason, I can't seem to find that 1st chart from FreshPorts you posted. What's the direct URL for that?
            Thanks!

                @McDing Thanks! It appears that I DID have the correct URLs. For some reason, that table was NOT displaying this morning. Now it is. Strange. Thanks again!

                  I see there were some Tailscale client security updates in recent weeks.

                  https://tailscale.com/security-bulletins

                  So I updated CE 2.7.2 to tailscale 1.68.1

                  pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.68.1.pkg
                  
                  tailscale version
                  1.68.1
                    go version: go1.22.4
                  
                  

                  Seems to be working.

                  @cmcdonald

                  Can Netgate roll the official package?

                  Issue 15281

                    https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.68.1.pkg

                    I tried to upgrade and here was the result:

                    First it complained the wrong Architecture so I changed the 14 to 15.
                    It then gave me this message:
                    Newer FreeBSD version for package tailscale:

                    I responded No and it says it still did something. I don't see a change and rebooted to make sure. Yes, no change.

                    This was on my Intel PC , not the 6200MAX.

                      OK, correction the "pkg version" command says it is now at 1.68.1 even though I said not to complete install but the package manager still stays 1.56.1

                        package manager GUI will still show old version.

                        just restart tailscale service and show tailscale status page. it should show new version at bottom.

                          @elvisimprsntr I actually reboot.

                          You are correct, package manager shows 1.56.1 but at the bottom of the Status tab on the VPN | Tailscale page, it shows 1.68.1.

                          And when SSHed into it using "pkg version" shows it as 1.68.1

                              @elvisimprsntr Still no guts and therefore no glory.

                              Eventually I will give it a try.

                                Unfortunately, the previous Issue 15281 was just closed as resolved for pfSense+

                                Opened new Issue 15619 for CE

                                  Just upgraded CE 2.7.2 to 1.70.0. Now all my clients are on same version.

                                  pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.70.0.pkg

                                  1.70.0
                                    go version: go1.22.5

                                      @elvisimprsntr Interesting it's marked for quarterly now. I have updated too. No issues so far... except hanging on reboot which I discovered a few package versions ago and I don't know which one it started to break on 😬

                                      Would be good if the repo still kept earlier versions. e.g. 1.68

                                        It usually takes a few days to recompile for all platforms/distros.

                                        There is a 1.72.1 already with a bug fix.

                                          @elvisimprsntr 1.72.1 is a linux only release.
                                          Anyway I am saying it would be good if we could have access to older versions if we needed. pkg.freebsd.org seems to remove the old packages.
                                          e.g. https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.68.1.pkg is dead
