      How do I permanently remove the "no commercial distribution allowed" popups? I run triple monitors and use pfSense for live gui displays that force refresh every 3600 seconds and frequently when it refreshes I have to "accept" the "no commercial distribution" popup.

      Let me know how to disable it please and thanks!

        That behavior is certainly not intentional. What hardware are you running on?

          I'm not sure your question, sorry.

          The PC running pfsense (bare metal, no vm):

          Lenovo MT-M 3306-G2U running the latest bios.
          i5-3470
          8GB Ram
          Adata SX930 480gb SSD
          Intel PRO/1000 PT Dual Port Server Adapter

          My PC with the triple monitors:
          Windows 7 Ultimate
          i7-4790k
          32gb ram
          Google Chrome Canary 64bit Version 67.0.3384.0 (Official Build)
          Monitor that pfsense is displayed on is running at 4k.

          If you need any other information just let me know.

          And just FYI, it was doing it on 2.4.3 as well.

            Please check the /conf directory permissions. Is it possible it is not writable?

                I'll DM you and if we arrive at a solution I'll post it here.

                  I'm seeing the same issue on all three of my pfSense boxes (2 x SG-1000 using factory installs and one VM with a community version).  It seems to pop up everytime I login to the GUI.

                    There is a patch to fix a daily popup of the message on master branche: https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/commit/cd4ee470ce2f1cf1e81690d1183dcbcd2731565f

                    To apply it to 2.4.3 add the url to the systempatches package with a path-strip of 2 then save/fetch/apply. And there should not be any daily 'reminder' anymore.

                      The issue has been fixed server-side. Sorry for the annoyance.
