Title: Tailscale (os-tailscale plugin) not survive reboot
Post by: papak011 on October 17, 2025, 11:54:08 AM
Hello,

Anytime when I reboot Opnsense Tailscale isn't more enabled. I need to issue all command like after setup:

sudo service tailscaled enable
tailscaled enabled in /etc/rc.conf.d/tailscaled

sudo service tailscaled start

sudo tailscale up

Didn't find anything like this searching the internet. Every time I need to stop Tailscale on my computer to access Opnsense after reboot, then issue commands above to start Tailscale and then on my computer again.

Any help would be appreciated.

OPNsense does not use the traditional FreeBSD rc system. Did you install the tailscale plugin abd enable the service both from the UI?

The Tailscale plugin installed through UI and enabled form cli. Not found where to enable the service in UI.

Which means the plugin will disable it again, because that's how you configured it.

You can use tailscale package stand alone, but then it needs to be without the plugin (os-tailscale).


Cheers,

What's the point of Tailscale plugin, if not survuve reboot? Or I miss something important in configuration? I just followed instruction on the web.

It's configuring the RC files for you to ensure consistency. It does what you told it to -- disable Tailscale ;)
