Yeah I follow Lawrence Systems since they deploy plenty of PFsense boxes and that was something he brought up recently. Not sure if it's due to the Plus vs Community divide making it harder for OPNsense to get ahold of PF's homework or if the new BSD just needs more greybeards due to BSD popularity slowly diminishing. Even TrueNAS moving to a Linux build feels like a forecast of what to expect in 5-10 years so who knows.Before me and others started contacting Qotom about the 3758R, they had basically stopped producing them since Qotom didn't think the price difference between the C3758 and C3758R made sense. Apparently they could source the C3758 quite a bit cheaper.
That's what they told me at least. That's probably still true. They might make a batch of them once in while to satisfy demand if they deem it to be large enough.
That's a bit suprising since OPNsense used to be faster at porting to newer FreeBSD versions, especially for the Community Edition releases. What you say appears to be true though, based on some quick googling.
Besides 200 MHz extra clock speed, they are basically identical.![]()
I just got my RAM so I'm about to fire mine up. I'm also moving in a few weeks so I can easily make the "oh the network must be because of the new install" excuse my way through tinkering.
