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!
