Loved (past tense) pfSense+
-
$129 (last year) was great, I understand why you want to charge but jumping home users to SOHO prices ($399) is ridicules. Basically the original argument that the OpenSense founders stated came true.
Goodbye pfSense

I am not paying 399 to be able to use boot environments.
Why not keep the Home licence at 129????If i have to switch back to CE i will switch to OpenSense
Why just why?

@gauthig unfortunately i have to agree. i can also switch back to pfSense CE, but this move makes me lose faith in netgate and in how they are developing pfsense.
At this point is better to switch to OPNsense. Faster updates and still free. -
I have to agree for lab/home use 129usd/year price was reasonable. And considering how strong was the push to upgrade from CE to plus, because there were free homelab/home, makes me feel uncomfortable when company makes this move. basically, losing trust. Like they wanted to pull unity3d move or something.
really sad day. I was buying Netgate products and recommending their subscriptions for companies that I manage IT infrastructure and running free version plus in my homelab to test before pushing upgrades in prod etc. now I am confused, yes for companies 400usd/year is not expensive but that's not the point.
and support is not that good anyway, had problem with pfsense plus vm in hyper-v, was doing testing for company before they committed to buy and they are windows server based so hyper-v is their hypervisor requirement, problem not solved (or they could not reproduce it, while for me it happened on 3 different server hardware, fresh install windows 2k22 server Hyper-V instances) so no sale oh well.
