Scott Long from Netgate's response: https://www.netgate.com/blog/painful-lessons-learned-in-security-and-community.html https://www.netgate.com/blog/painful-lessons-learned-in-secu... "Unfortunately, the public discussion has also veered into vague claims and slanderous attacks. This is where the lack of transparency, the lack of respect, and the inflation of ego is damaging and unproductive. We had hoped for a better collaboration than this, and it makes me doubt the motives of the attackers. And yes, I make deliberate use of the word “attacker” here, because that’s what this is, an attack on Netgate and on the FreeBSD and pfSense communities. Beware of anyone who says that they have all the answers. I also worry about the integrity of those who make vague statements and blanket, over-the-top accusations."

I think this... pretty much speaks for itself. Wow.

Wow. I'm a complete outsider to this, not using FreeBSD or pfSense or Wireguard - but this blog post makes Netgate seem incredibly unprofessional. Especially to anyone who actually read the mailing list exchanges.

  It is not great. I think this is all pretty much over now, right? FreeBSD is pulling back from a kernel WireGuard I think everyone agrees wasn't ready for prime time in mainline FreeBSD, and everyone's working getting it ready for a future release. I don't really understand what pfSense had to gain from a post like this, but, it's their blog.

I've never used Netgate's products but reading that certainly doesn't enamour me to use them in the future.
