Provide firm date on multicore/thread support

Just a quick glance at a home user, with 10G backbone, but currently nearly pinning a core with only ~600Mbps file transfer.  This is a Intel i3-9100  Please @Zenarmor re-consider this decision.  I've promoted this product since inception, this is a big thorn I'm struggling with.

it is quite disappointing. have been running a unifi gateway fiber (UXG) for 3 weeks now, the one without the network controller built-in. using the cybersecure subscription, which is $99 a year, so similar cost to zenarmor. unifi gateway basically uses suricata + dns filtering using cloudflare.

i have no problem getting 5gbps+ in my lab testing (sfp+ wan and lan) with all the suricata categories on + geo filtering + cloudflare content filtering, using this $279 unit. connecting it to my 1gbps fiber ISP,  idles at 7w and uses at most 9w when using the full 1 gbps connection.

zenarmor's categories and filtering is by far superior. especially since it filters at the firewall / packet level. unifi's relies on dns for content filtering, so if you wanted to block traffic at the firewall, you need to do old school firewall rules, which have different options than the cloudflare categories. which are also very broad and not really tunable.

unifi's gatetway software has definitely improved greatly over the past 2 years. 2 years ago unifi gateway software was so unstable and unuseable.

is opnsense a better firewall/gateway then unifi?

yes, without a doubt

is zenarmor better than the cybersecure for content filtering?

yes, without a doubt

but unifi is certainly not far behind and then zenarmor just does the most annoying things to its customers because it can't figure out how restrict businesses from using home licenses??? other than making it a bad experience for home licenses. lol.

my kids are getting to the age now that extreme content filtering is not really needed, so for me the zenarmor advantage is less and less attractive. i plan on sticking with the unifi unit for a couple of months to fully give it a shot. hopefully go through a few software updates as well. see if that is a disaster or not.
