Hello community

I have a DEC750, a 2-year old model with 2.5G ports.

On the WAN side, I have a 10G XGS-PON module, 10G internet plan from my provider. The WAN interface requires a non-default VLAN tag.

For testing, I plugged my PC directly into a 10GBe transceiver in the DEC750 using default VLAN 1.

Doing internet speedtests, the highest speed I can achieve is 5.2Gbps (iperf3 with parallel streams, speedtest net, cnlab). Is this to be expected? I don't want to spend too much time trying to increase this if it's already maxing out the firewall throughput of the DEC750. What I haven't tried is disabling the firewall on the DEC750, but this falls into the "spending too much time" category since I'd never use it in that configuration.

Using the router provided by my ISP, I can reach just over 8Gbps in speed tests.

The acme-client plugin version 4.7 has a bug where sftp upload automation can fail. This was fixed in 4.8. Luckily I caught this today, with many of my certs expiring tomorrow.

I've been going back and forth trying to decide if I should renew the business license which came with my hardware, but it's really hard to swallow the price for a home user. Well, the time has come, and my license expires in a couple of weeks. I was surprised to see that the 3y license price went up from 359 to 399EUR. I was on the fence at 359, never got the chance to renew even once, and the price is already up.

This price increase definitely seals it for me - I will be switching to community edition. I would sign up in a heartbeat for something around 75EUR/year so I can stay on a slower, more stable release cycle and so I could support the project more than I already have. I understand that that costs are going up, but consumers are also starting to watch their spending and I think Deciso is pricing out home users. I'm sure I'm not the only one that will end up contributing 0EUR to the project only because of the lack of distinction between home and business.

Although I don't really have any suggestions on how to solve your issue, do you mind if I ask what kind of issues you ran into by enabling RSS? I'm playing with it now and it would be nice to know what to watch out for, not just assume it's working.

thanks

We have been discussing additional home and enterprise versions, but nothing concrete was decided at this point as both come with additional challenges and require further infrastructure improvements.

Hi Franco, have you guys had a chance to consider some other Home subscription options for people with OPNsense hardware? I am dreading the day that my business subscription will run out and it's really hard to justify the 150eur fee for home use.

I'd be more than happy to pay for access to a stable release channel for home use, but the current price is around 3x my pain threshold.

If I am forced to switch to community edition, do you have any tips on how to stay on a stable release schedule, closely tracking the business edition version? Is there a way to install a specific release using the GUI? For example, Business edition 24.4.1 is based on 24.1.8, but 24.1.9 has since been released. If I were on community edition, I'd like to install 24.1.8 as of today.
