Google Analytics - Use by pfSense?

@stephenw10 Can I safely delete this in my 23.05.01 BE? This is the only version that supports my Crypto chip for offloading with OpenVPN. The new one won't run it.

You should be able to remove those unneeded files, yes.

This post is deleted! -
No you need the plugin just not the files shown here:
https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/commit/4e8f6cedd9c4b32b24ac3619f84e33a9a4708a29 -
The files removed in the mentioned commit don't actually do anything, so I'd recommend just leaving them in place, rather than risk removing one file too many and breaking things.
They'll automagically disappear when you upgrade to 24.03 anyway.

@kprovost Naaaa I am gonna delete that stuff but make a BE first. @stephenw10 said it was ok. I have Boot Environments so I can go back if needed.
They are Gone...

Ha! @kprovost is who I usually ask. He's at wizard level compared to me!

@stephenw10 Well someone had to make a sacrificial test.... might as well be me I haven't done one in a while. Seems ok. nothing has failed so far.

Thanks for the reassurance. Is there anything inside of the pfSense firmware that would make callouts to any 3rd party analytics?

Lets to remind: in case with GOOGLE/YAHOO - we have a deal with SEARCH system (yes, all of them collecting our info, but THAT REGULATED BY LAWS), in case with BAIDU/MAILRU/YANDEX - WE HAVE A DEAL WITH SPY SYSTEMS FROM AGRESSIVE DICTATORSHIPS.
And most of them are DIRECT ENEMY of US. This mean Your personal enemy if You care about Your country.
So speaking about russian/china systems as 'analytic product' is totally incorrect and lead to direct damage in nearest feature.
