Hi everyone! I've been using OPNsense for about a year. One of the first things I installed on my router was Tailscale, since I use it extensively. I used this guide: https://tailscale.com/kb/1097/install-opnsense
The latest version of OPNsense now has a built-in Tailscale plugin: https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=44693.0
In theory it seems like it makes more sense to use the built-in plugin: it updates automatically and the configuration can be done in the UI.
So my questions are:
1) Do you know what the recommended process is to change from one to the other? I'd like to keep my Tailscale configuration
2) Or do I need to uninstall what I have, install the new plugin and redo everything (add the router to my tailnet again, reconfigure my ACLs for this new node...)?
3) When using the new plugin, do the Tailscale configurations get saved when doing a git backup of the OPNsense config?
Thank you for your help!
I have this exact question. I do not have an easy way to test (home user, no HA). Is it safe to install the new one on top of legacy FreeBSD ports version?
I am also interested into this, did you get any information on this behalf?
hello, thanks,
very confusing, do we use?
1. https://tailscale.com/kb/1097/install-opnsense
or
2. built-in Tailscale plugin
I used the Tailscale link. Recently uninstalled and used plugin.
Tailscale Uninstall
service tailscaled status
service tailscaled stop
service tailscaled disable
Tailscale Plugin
System --> Firmware --> Plugins
os-tailscale install.
Then configure as usual
Yes I had to reconfigure in Tailscale Machines, exit nodes and subnet routes.
I haven't tested whether saved in backup I expect it would.
