netgate nexus
- 
 This just got installed on its own.  Googling doesn't get anything relevant to netgate (but lots about cisco). Is this a cross over episode ? :) 
- 
 Check out System > Advanced > Multi-Instance Management. It's now a package so it can be updated like other packages. 
- 
 @marcosm Ok.. thanks. I'm aware of the existance of mim (as NOT as man in the middle) 
 as a new pfsense feature.I understand it now has a name too. Good to know :) 
- 
 Does this also mean that it's save to uninstall/remove it, if you don't need or use it? 
- 
 @marcosm Interesting. So MIM is a package now. Interesting. Curious, why not make it part of base install? 
- 
 It's installed by default in Plus like the firmware updater for example. Having it as a package means it can be user updated between main releases. There is a lot of development happening there so it's likely we will update it. 
- 
 @stephenw10 Ok so i run all my hardware on Plus so its baked in but if i had CE, then that's an optional package? Just to be clear. 
- 
 No, it's not available in CE. 
- 
 @stephenw10 ah ok understood. So its part of the base install albiet a separate package update. 
 Does that mean an admin can remove the package and therefore not have MIM anymore?
- 
 You could in the current version but it will probably become irremovable at some point. However it will be reinstalled at upgrade if you do. 
- 
 @michmoor it is part of the base install, this lets us update it outside of a release
