These survey sites tend to miss large numbers of FreeBSD machines in use in corporate environs. Eg, Netflix Openconnect CDN and similar.

  idk but wager to say there are maybe a couple of thousand OC machines worldwide. not really "large numbers". on other fronts i rekon that other infrastructure manufacturers are big on BSD (eg. dell/emc, juniper)

    Yes, openconnect was just one example that I know well because I work on it, and I know we don't report to these survey sites. If we did, we would make up a sizable percent of bsdstats.org, and over 99% of the BSD Hardware Database in the title. And I'm sure there are others (like your infrastructure manufacturers) that could say the same.
