<![CDATA[Just a rant]]>I've known about pfsense for about a year now and I know I've just scratched the tip of the iceberg but I just want to say how awesome this software really is.

If there's to be net neutrality and the internet in the hands of everyone it is paramount that software like this exists to enjoy the new age of communication but also to be protected from it.

This may be considered a thankless job developing it so I just want to say what a pleasure the pfsense road has been to travel on.

2.3.1 has been absolutely phenomenal for us.

Has worked wonderfully since I started using it around 2.1.2

Plus its free - like free beer.  We all love that I'm guessing.  (and like freedom)
