      So there use to be a way to donate..

      I have had recently people ask if they could send me money for help, I have logged in to their setups remotely, etc..

      I am not here for that, and happy to help when I can - I just tell them to donate what they would give me to pfsense.  But how can they do that?  Should I just have them donate to freebsd?

      Not talking any serious money here, they want to buy me a beer or a coffee, etc.. $20 in the last example.. But while I appreciate the offer, the guys that deserve that beer or coffee more are the guys doing all the work that bring all of us such a great product.

      So where should stuff like this be directed?  How can they/we/me donate to the cause - other than buying gold or tshirt/stickers/book/etc..

        TL;DR: donate to the FreeBSD Foundation.

        I keep meaning to link to it on the get-involved page: https://pfsense.org/get-involved/

        Thanks for all the help and for pointing people in the right directions!

          I was asked the same, so here is the direct URL to donate via
          Paypal / Click & Pledge / Bitcoin / Check
          to the FreeBSD Foundation: https://www.freebsdfoundation.org/donate/

            Is pfSense is not Open Source on {spam link removed}? Is this true?

                How can I help you? I would like to support the project. I have been extracting bitcoins for 5 years and can donate to you. But I don`t know exactly how this can be done. Can I make a donation through the site [link-removed] or you have your own way how to do it?
