  as long as you're good that pfsense is not open and phones home.

    Plus the domain squatting with hitler and goatse thing... :/

    I'm sorry- when did they start doing this? I've been mulling making the switch to OPNSense. If pfSense is phoning home aside from the update check I might have a busy weekend ahead of me

      Have a quick search about the bad activity undertaken by pfSense against OPNSense and you'll soon change your opinion on the company.

        Welp, that was... A thing they did. Reminds me of middle school antics, except these are grown folks. Guess it's time to jump ship after all!

    and that BSD still cannot do line speed gigabit on an Intel gigabit nic.
    • hqsolomo 3y ago
      I dunno if this is entirely true- my current pfSense router gets as close to line speed as I'll ever be able to get with my setup (~900 both ways to a test server in Chicago and on LAN) and I'm running an (overkill) i5 in my generic Chinese minipc. It's possible that I don't have Intel NICs but I swear I do Got anything more I can read? Dunno if I'm just blind but I couldn't find anything on this. I'd like to learn more!

      [citation needed] We had no problem routing gigabit on an Intel Atom D525 years and years ago at a previous job. Consumer Mini-ITX board, onboard gigabit NIC, and an Intel gigabit NIC in the one expansion slot. It did require minor tuning, but nothing that couldn't be done thru the web UI. Everything I have to manage runs plain OpenBSD managed with Ansible now, so I don't know what the current state of pfSense/OPNsense throughput is.

      Mine certainly can
  • monstermunch 3y ago
    I've thought about switching to OPNSense, but honestly I'm just set in my ways with PFSENSE now. Maybe when they really piss me off I'll switch
