Update package?

[sensewolf]

Hi,

I'm hosting my own headscale server which doesn't like clients lower than v1.62. The pfsense tailscale package is v1.54.0 so the don't get along.

Is there an updated package on the horizon?

Thanks!

You can manually update the tailscale package. Myself and others have been doing it for a while now. You can follow along here

1. Leave pfSense Tailscale package installed
2. Use the command line to install the latest Tailscale package from Freshports
   NOTE: Install from FreeBSD 14 or 15 depending on which pfSense version you are running. i.e. 2.7.2 CE is on 14. Latest pfSense+ is on FreeBSD 15

EXAMPLES:

pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/quarterly/All/tailscale-1.82.5.pkg

pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.82.0.pkg

3. Manually restart Tailscale package using the pfSense GUI.

NOTE: The pfSense package manager will still show the released Tailscale version, but the Tailscale status page will show the updated version.

Very effective. Thank you very much.
