last working funnel version for macos 12.7.4 = 1.88.4

[lukewp]

What is the issue?

I'm running a dev server on an old mac that can't be upgraded beyond macos 12.7.4 due to other dependencies. I use tailscale funnel to serve content from that machine. Every TS version I've installed >1.88.4 will execute tailscale funnel from the prompt without showing any issues. But when I look at console, it does not indicate an active Funnel status for the machine in question, and the machine is inaccessible at the reported external tailscale named subdomain. To resolve, I have to uninstall the new version of tailscale, reboot, reinstall the legacy version of tailscale, reboot, and reauthenticate. I don't know what changed >1.88.4, but there's something about that funnel function that the old version of macos does not like. This is not an issue on any other machine I'm using, with more modern OSes.

I've noticed this too.
It'd be nice if it could be fixed so I could update tailscale.

Thank you for noting this. I was struggling the last few days to figure out what was going on. I have the same issue.
