Thoughts on the new "Gold" menu in 2.1.5
-
Maybe not, but it wouldn't raise Gold revenue as effectively, either.
When Supermule and others starts sending in quality patches for the system, we can talk.
Patches are gleefully accepted (and then reviewed), of course, but a decade of history shows that the rate of these is not enough
to keep the project in shape.Until then, I'm going to depend on the people who are employed to get things done and keep a schedule, and accept what comes from
the community when it does.So Goat.se…
-
Aaaah NO I am not…
Just so that its perfectly clear!
@ Supermule: What? Are you charging customers for pfSense and telling those clients that you paid for it? Ah, that makes sense, it's giving you away… That's why your upset about the <gold>menu... LOL... Hmm...
Why not make a menu that only appears when you type a subscriber ID in some sort of menu under services? or general settings?
Then you wouldnt have all this…
Or just cal. it "Subscription"
I wouldn't be upset in the least if this happened as long as the non-subscribers home enthusiasts received the same software. Remove the <gold>for "corporate support subscribers" so Supermules customers are happy. You wanted opinions, I just gave it..</gold></gold>

Just to be perfectly clear, you're a home user, right?

Nope :)

If that's your home internet bandwidth then I'm even more jealous than before. ;) I guess there are more and more places getting Gigabit order home connections. I'm just not in one of them. There does of course come a point when more speed isn't actually that helpful:

We can get 10GbE here no problem. Price is about 500 USD pr. mth.
So its just to upgrade if needed but running Linksys WRT1900AC at home and it can easily push those speeds.
-
One of the things ESF should consider was a small payment for WRT hardware image that can replace the OEM image on the drive.

Not quite sure what you're suggesting there. :-\ ESF supply modems?
Edit: An option to supply hardware with OpenWRT rather than pfSense?Anyway I just got upgraded to a whole 77Mbps and was pretty happy with that. ::)

:D No Pfsense on the Linksys WRT1900AC since its apparently OS.
One of the fastest SOHO routers outthere and pfsense combined would be a winner!
-
Well personally I'd love to see that and I think many others would too but I can see a number of fairly large obstacles in the way. Anyway we're now way off topic. Have you checked out http://zrouter.org/ (Edit: Now looks like a dead project :()

zrouter.org is quite dead, but they did some solid work.
Biggest obstacle for pfSense on that hardware is 802.11ac support. It's not ready in FreeBSD (not even in -HEAD. hell, the 802.11n support is barely passable.)
The second largest obstacle is that if we charged for such a thing, the "community" would just copy it (via torrent, etc.)
I'm sure people like Supermule would help, too.
"This is why we can't have nice things."
I've already committed to pfSense on the Edge Router Lite after 2.2 ships.
-
Nope :)
Perhaps you'll explain just what your interest in pfSense is, then.
It would be nice to know.

I've got a 1Gbps/1Gbps connection here at home. There are actually 3 1Gbps FTTx providers in Austin, and the local cable company is upgrading everyone they can to 300Mbps as fast as they can, rather than lose customers.
Work (pfSense World HQ) is connected at 10Gbps.
