      So, almost self explanatory, but:

      Can I deploy a pfsense box (non-netgate, just x86/64 version running on metal). Is it a violation of the license to use the software in a business environment? It is a small/medium sized restaurant, less than 50 employee, and i have no intention of charging for anything. Or, maybe $1 for the hardware (its an old use of mine i have sitting around and the busine2ss is owned by a friend). He would not be seeking assistance from Netgate directly.

        @menethoran you can use it sure. Just can’t sell it. https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/general/sell-pfsense.html

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.
