lack of support for opnsense hardware

[Vesalius]

not thanks.  my clients..either home or business are not used by me to beta test my vendors products.  I now know the release policy of OpNSense..lesson learned..

all the more reason to do your homework and know your vendors release model. OPNsense, Proxmox many others use this public release and followed months behind by a business release model. For companies that don’t or can’t stay in business charging enterprise markups, most opensource type software with a free variant, this is a valid model to use.

5k was the threshold mentioned..5k

I tough that was a typo, because you mentioned spending 1,5k on OPNsese.

i understand now the software is effectively unsupported now without additional cost.

Yeah...  You could have known that. I mean you are not new to this whole IT game, as a long time Dell partner years ahead of me
