Tailscale Package Stuck in "Offline" State - GUI Broken After Reinstall
-
Hello,
I am unable to get the Tailscale package to work. The page at VPN > Tailscale > Authentication is stuck. It displays the error "Tailscale is not online," but also shows a "Logout and Clean" button, with no option to log in.
link textThis state persists even after performing the following troubleshooting steps:
Rebooting the pfSense router.
Completely uninstalling and reinstalling the Tailscale package multiple times.
Clearing browser cache and using a private browser window.
Toggling the main "Enable Tailscale" checkbox in the settings.
Checking the logs, which show the service gets a "terminate" signal and shuts down cleanly; it does not crash.
Manually trying to delete the state file with rm /var/db/tailscale/tailscaled.state, which failed because the file does not exist.
It appears that the package's configuration is corrupted in a way that persists even after reinstallation. Can anyone advise on how to perform a complete manual cleanup of all Tailscale files and settings?
