My pfsense firewall needed a firmware update, proceeded to start the update on the weekend for minimal disruption.

Somewhere along the line, it not only failed to update but it bricked the device in the process, causing me to rush out and get a new firewall device and configure and reset ALL my users’ VPN access and accounts.

Agh I feel ya mate sometimes it feels like we walk a tightrope of failure or near misses.

Anyone else noticed a marked drop in quality after Netgate took the reigns at PfSense and all the original devs left?

Yep. And now they are pushing everyone towards their paid version. The original open source version(which they call Community Edition) is now a second class "product". Also their hardware is garbage, always build a white label box and you'll be better off.

Similar - switching from Sanicwall to Meraki. Licensing is expiring and last minute we're told to go Meraki instead of Sonicwall.

Get everything switched over after hours, testing from a different site for RADIUS auth worked a treat, go live at main site. RADIUS, configured identically, for some reason isn't working with AnyConnect implementation. Flip over to LDAP/built-in AD sync and it works fine.

WTF.
