Ugh, that's unfortunate. =\
After looking at this repo more closely, this really is pretty suboptimal. build.sh is incredibly flexible, but yeah- no documentation on what you'd need to build a non-pfsense branded product.
That's pretty weird, given how much of this system seems to be geared towards being generically applicable and has some replacements aimed directly at rebranding some literal occurrences of "pfSense".
- wolrah 6y agoI did see someone linked documentation for how they did a build recently in the pfSense subreddit when this same article was posted there, so I guess it is in fact possible, but the process was certainly nowhere close to straightforward. I really do enjoy the platform, I have dozens of Netgate SG-series devices deployed to clients and they work great, but I do find it hugely disappointing that it seems very clear that Netgate does not want anyone else producing builds of pfSense-derived software even if it's properly rebranded. Their official claims that it's purely about the branding falls apart when you compare what's involved in building "nonSense" compared to Chromium, Iceweasel, etc.
