      I have yet to start testing but as far as I can tell pfSense and tailscale are not properly integrated to a level where you can assign the tailscale interface in pfsense and start doing portforwards and what not from the tail IP. Apparantly pfSense won’t boot and starts displaying the interface assignment CLI option because tailscale is not present at boot.

      I assume this is because tailscale is running as a user level service, and is not started/present at kernel interface assignment time.

      Since tailscale is using wireguard “underneath” one could hope this could be brought to work, but that is probably alttogether different code.

      Is there no option to allow pfsense to start the tailscale service/interface before it continues assigning interfaces?
      tailscale would be an enourmously usefull package if the interface could be assigned and serviced/routed like any other site 2 site VPN.

      Love the no fuss of using the official appliances :-)
