      Hello Dear Ones

      When did PfSense become such a crap software?

      I believe about 4 or 5 or more.

      I think they want you to buy support.

      I have several screenshots of machines being configured than misconfigurated when no reason.

      After investigation I saw several netgate ip connections to the box that should not exist and match the disconfiguration process.

      Are they backdoring the system and making it not work properly?

      After buying support it starts working like a charm.

      What is happening with the company?

      Anyone else did your one investigation or is experiencing the same issues?

        Used pfsense as vm about 3 years, and now have xg7100 - almost newer have any issue: expect one time was problems with bugged unbound and ssl dns#853, and another one is lagg on xg7100 - it was broken

        Latest stable pfSense on 2x XG-7100 and 1x Intel Xeon Server, running mutiWAN, he.net IPv6, pfBlockerNG-devel, HAProxy-devel, Syslog-ng, Zabbix-agent, OpenVPN, IPsec site-to-site, DNS-over-TLS...

          What recreational drugs are you currently taking? You think netgate/pfsense is logging into your system via some "backdoor" and changing shit so it doesn't work so you will buy support..

          You need to lay off whatever mind altering drugs you are taking... heehheheehheeh

          You do understand the box checks for updates, that is how it shows you on the dashboard if your current or not ;)

            @johnpoz are you sure your not being paid to say that or maybe one of the developers is your boyfriend?

                I gloomily came to the ironic conclusion that if you take a highly intelligent person and give them the best possible, elite education, then you will most likely wind up with an academic who is completely impervious to reality.

                    @provels Pay me. Do you think I am going to rat you for free?

                    I just raised the subject and alerted. If others want to investigate the system they should do for themselves.

                    Nothing is free even blowing a whistle like people around like to say. 👍🖕

                      If this wasn't so absurdly funny I would just delete this whole thread..

                      You can not honestly think this is going on.. Let me guess you also have theories on who shot JFK, and how we didn't land on the moon... Is the earth flat as well in your mind?

                              Since you have a history of misconfiguring your network Id believe that the only thing anyone here would be paying for is to see that you did so once again.

                                Oh, I see. Make a bogus claim and then demand payment for proof. Yeah, right! PfSense needs a filter for this sort of jerk.
