@skacem said in Community Edition will be renewed or cancelled ?:
CE version has disappeared. In my experience, this is a prelude to its disappearance ....
now, we have a project, our initial wish is to use PfSense on multi-sites, but with what we've seen, we'd like to have some assurance on the continuity of the CE version or not, ... , and we can't commit to the PfSense CE version if it no longer has a future
imo the CE edition as we have known it is in the process of being eliminated
Development version public access has been removed for a long time now
Off line install of the CE version is in the process of being eliminated
Negate is exercising their absolute control of the CE version
Which leaves, what is the threat Netgate is addressing?
Chinese hardware retailers/manufactures disregarding copyright and selling hardware with pfsense installed
Home / lab free use of pfsense CE (current actively maintained version)
Micro business use of pfsense CE (current actively maintained version)
Commercial installs of pfsense CE (current actively maintained version)
Time will confirm what Netgate's goals actually are however I would NOT invest significant resources in a future system based on pfsense CE at this time.
