    Let’s all Pause for a moment and Consider the state of pfsense

    Let’s all Pause for a moment and Consider the state of pfsense

    Agree. In isolation, that problem was not a big deal. Scale out a bit and consider other actions Netgate has made, maybe a bigger deal. Reason enough for the community to insist on more involvement in the pfSense CE codebase. I need help finding sane actors to help me rectify.

    Let’s all Pause for a moment and Consider the state of pfsense

    Lets start by asking ourselves a simple question. pfSense, who are you? Do you love pfSense? I think I have resolved both of these questions, and the answer is yes. I’ve used Netgate hardware in production in real life for many purposes. It’s good. TAC, even TAC lite, is a great value add. Plus...

Are there any 16 core QS part numbers I can purchase? Basically looking for an alternate (cheaper) upgrade path vs buying a 7F52. My 7302p stays...
