Hi,

The multicore support is in developmentstage and we plan to ship it with version 2.1 in July.

Those are some great news. Also from what I picked up the 2.1 release will be pretty big.
Looking forward for it.
Networking is love. You may hate it, but in the end, you always come back to it.

That will be very nice on lower powered processors that often have a lower clock rate!

My LAGGs will be happy to reach its full potential.

I just canceled my Zenarmor subscription. I reviewed the Zenarmor documentation and multi core support is behind a paywall. Apparently, you need a a more comprehensive license for multi core support? CPU's have been multi core for several years. This support should be free.

Apparently, you need a business license or higher for multi core support. This is laughable. In this day and age, charging for multi core support, seriously? Modern CPU's have had multiple cores for years. What software company charges for multi core support? NONE, except for Zenarmor you need to revisit your strategy. Multi core support is nothing novel or innovative. All modern software applications support it.

what. the whole reason i want multi-core support is so i can downgrade my home hardware to lower TDP cpu... ugh

You can still do it, but you will end to purchase I believe a business or higher license. Multi core won't be supported on home versions. Again, there is NO software company out there that charges for multi core support. Most companies develop there programs to support multiple cores, free of charge.


Zenarmor on the other hand releases software that doesn't support multiple cores and then releases it as a feature that must be paid for. This my friend is comical and probably the reason why no Zenarmor employees have responded to this thread. Because they know it's ludicrous. Could you imagine if Microsoft or Google required a multi core license? Microsoft Word - multi core edition.


What about this. What if Opnsense put receive side scaling (RSS) behind a paywall. For example you need to purchase Opnsense business edition to enable RSS. LOL

Since the feature isn't out yet, can we be certain this is going to be a paid feature?

Seems like a lot of work to create two different versions of the software to split the feature. Not trying to defend them, but this just doesn't seem logical unless they are going to turn off the free version.

That is what their roadmap seems to suggest - SSE, ZTNA, SASE, Business plans only...rather than 'All Plans' which includes free and home, or 'All paid plans' which would include home but not free.

Of course, easily clarified by a member of the Sunny Valley team that contribute to the forum.
