      Anyone else have this issue? I'm not sure if it's the tailscale package or the dev snapshot but the tailscale service refuses to start. I was just planning on waiting until 24.08 release but I fear it may have the same issue if it's a valid problem and has yet to be reported. I haven't looked into it too deep other than reinstalling the package and attempting a manual service restart with the gui and shell. I know I'm not providing much info to go with. Just curious if it's been problematic for others.

          Im also having the same issue. Been waiting till the final relase of pfsense before I really dive into it, but it seems to be taking forever.
          You ever find out anything?

            Hmm, seeing that here. Still present on current internal snaps. Digging...

                @townsenk64 turned out to be a bug upstream, fix was accepted. I will commit to upstream and pull fix into our tree.

                  @cmcdonald is there a workaround in the meantime, or will there be a new snapshot soon?
                  I can't roll back due to needing to be on the dev version for a different issue, but also can't seem to do the initial setup even with doing CLI commands for starting & stopping.

                    @JasonTracy you could grab the latest version of https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/main/libexec/rc/rc.subr and plop it in /etc/rc.subr

                          Did you have to reboot pfSense or did it just work ?

                          I went to /etc/ and did

                          fetch https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/main/libexec/rc/rc.subr
                          

                          It replaced the /etc/rc.subr as seen by the timestamp. Then trying to start tailscale in the GUI it's still the same.

                          in CLI it's still the same error:

                          tailscale status
                          failed to connect to local tailscaled process (is it running?); got: Failed to connect to local Tailscale daemon for /localapi/v0/status; not running? Error: dial unix /var/run/tailscale/tailscaled.sock: connect: no such file or directory

                            If you just fetch it like that it will pull the github webpage not the script.

                            Try: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/refs/heads/main/libexec/rc/rc.subr

                              @mfld it just worked, but I manually edited the file & copy/pasted the text from the website into it.

                                Indeed, I did now raw it. It was a bunch of HTML lol. Boot environments FTW!
