Now I’m just waiting for Netgate to announce an end to CE so I have a reason to move to OPNsense. I’m lazy and it works so I haven’t taken the time to move yet. Weird for a company to EEE their own product.
I bought a netgate box a couple of years back and it was total garbage. My new 2.5gb Protectli came in yesterday. Looks like I’ll be putting OPNsense on it.
Good choice. I’ve switched from pfSense to OPNsense over a year ago and I never looked back. Now that the news are out there’s one more reason for me to not look back.
This could potentially apply to me as I have a SG3100 that’d now EOL with no direct replacement, I was thinking of getting a non netgate appliance but restoring my PFSense plus to that new device, this now means I’d be forced to get a subscription to TaC to use Plus on a non netgate device? Wording isn’t very clear to me.

Just in case no one else has seen the
, Netgate have walked back the change somewhat.
It is now going to require the original advertised TAC Lite/$129 a year subscription, which is what was stated from the inception of Home/Lab.

And nothing of value was lost. Opnsense is still free and open source, and doesn’t start petty drama insulting its competitors.
