    @vbentley: From the moment an organisation chooses to register a trademark they are obliged to enforce it or they risk losing it. https://secureyourtrademark.com/blog/trademark-101-can-lose-trademark/ An organisation cannot write a trademark policy and expect to not have to comply with it themselves. If they do so, they are eroding their own brand. It is my opinion that the term 'pfSense' can no longer be used interchangeably to describe pfSense commercial products and the pfSense community editions. Each time pfSense is used to describe the community edition it is diluting its validity to the commercial product. If ESF do not enforce this on their own public forum then they risk the community being able to prove that the use of the mark is more commonly used to describe the community edition than the commercial product. This might be important if installations of the community edition outnumber pfSense installations. I am not a fan of RedHat, but I understand why the company decided to distinguish their commercial product from the community edition by creating the FedoraProject. Are you an attorney? If you're not an attorney, have you consulted with one on this? You're wrong, but this is not the venue to explain how.

    @jimp: @mrzaz: I have another small comment that relates to the section on page 35 "RA TAP Bridge" that is worth mentioning is that neither Android or IOS supports TAP in the current API.  (tried Android 6.0.1 and IOS 10.2.1) I mentioned that on slide 7. Yep you did, I could see that now. Maybe a reminder on that page could have been done but lets just drop it as you have already mentioned it elsewhere which was most important. :-) //Dan Lundqvist

    @KOM: I suppose new subforums will be created to match every additional language? Want to lure out those Klingons hidden all over earth? Neat. If memory serves Gonzopancho once said that he only creates forums for languages he has someone for to speak/understand.

    Reminder: This is today, and we'll be covering a basic squid/squidguard/lightsquid configuration along with HTTPS interception using either splice (no CA required) or bump (MITM), and AV. I may have to skim over some parts that overlap the old hangout so we have more time to talk about new topics

    Try the OpenVPN forum instead of posting your support requests in the Feedback forum.

    pfBlockerNG is my most used package right now, and I appreciate BBcan177's work.  I don't have Twitter either – can a post be created in this thread perhaps?  (Please?). Also, what exactly are category blacklists?  Are they trying to function as a content filter, so Adult Sites, Gambling, etc. and pfBlocker would just have a gigantic IP or DNS list of a bazillion sites in those categories?  Seems like Squidguard or Dansguardian or OpenDNS function in that capacity.  Maybe I'm not understanding the functionality? At any rate, I do appreciate the work behind pfBlockerNG, and I'm willing to chip in to keep development going.

    Good luck cmb. Your shoes will be hard to fill. It's a bit sad to read that your posts will drop to nearly zero… I am glad to see the farewell lunch! :)

    @kpa: Also you're apparently not even aware that Chris has been the first and foremost defender of this policy what you call "purely commercial oriented/driven pfSense", think about that. What "policy" would that be, exactly? There have been "commercially driven" accusations made for 9 years now, ever since we first started offering commercial support. I've been calling those out as bullshit for 9 years because they are. One would think eventually people would stop with the claims, but I guess 9 years isn't long enough. What has the community lost in 9 years through these repeated accusations of being "commercially driven" and the end of times is near? Not one single thing. In fact, it's gained significantly through having more developers employed to work on the project. While there are a number of much-appreciated community contributors, the vast majority of the work around here comes from those we employ. Yes, I've always been supportive of what allows us to make a living. That's also what allows this project to exist as it does, so those same things are in the best interests of the community as well. The only reason we've survived and thrived for 12 years is because we've been able to build a business around the project and employ people to work on it. It would have long ago died off like IPCop, m0n0wall, and a number of others if that weren't the case.

    Chris, Thanks to you and your team for all the work you do!  We now have 137 pfSense boxes in the network and that number is just going to keep growing. CT
