Their software is good, but their hardware? Awful. PFsense doesn't know how to do reliable hardware at all.

- gonzo 11y agoDo you have specific points here?
- alsetmusic 11y agoI own the SG-4860 and it's been solid for about eight months. It's the first hardware I've purchased from them and I have no regrets. https://www.pfsense.org/products/product-family.html https://www.pfsense.org/products/product-family.html
- snuxoll 11y agoDo you have any experience with the lower end SG-2220? I'm looking at replacing the Aspire Revo AR1600 I've hacked into a firewall at my aunt's shop running Sophos UTM with something that doesn't require a USB NIC, it looks like a pretty good value at the price.
- gonzo 11y agoThanks. It's what I run at home.
- dgacmu 11y agoI'm surprised at this - I run four pfSense boxen; my two homebrew ones on repurposed old machines have both died on me at least once, and the two running on purchased pfSense hardware are still up & running. Anecdote != data and all that, but I'd buy their hardware again if I didn't have a large stack of machines I can reuse for "free." (ahem. free does not count my time or that of my students, but sometimes it's fun to admin things a little.)
