@elvisimprsntr Are you ignoring the kernel version of CE? Mine is at 14.0 and it appears that the version you site was built for 14.1.
Safe to ignore?

Ignore the mismatch and continue? [y/N]:

It appears the AMD 14 packages are missing, can't even point a browser to them at https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.78.1.pkg

The arch64 are there. https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:aarch64/latest/All/tailscale-1.78.1.pkg

Anybody know what's up?

TommyMoo

@cayossarian Hi, I also couldnt open your link, but went manually here -> https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/

Looks like just the directory is down where your Link is pointing to, why? I have no clue... but could browse the rest there one folder level up of your link

@TommyMoo

It's currently on 1.78.1_1

Freshports

pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.78.1_1.pkg

I think they are in the process of compiling 1.80.0.

TommyMoo

@elvisimprsntr Coool, Thanks & Cheers

@elvisimprsntr
I have two questions regarding this topic.

Is it necessary to update the tailscale package if its not pushed through the normal package manager process in pfsense? Why are we updating 'out of band' ?
Why isn't Netgate taking care of updating the package if they took time out to develop the package for pfsense in the first place. More of a question for @cmcdonald
