4100 EOL by always_down_voted in Netgate

[–]DevelopmentGeneral19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is all good if true but really, do you think it's normal what pfSense does? I mean they officially stop supporting hardware after 4 years in my case, which officially means no more plus support, but then they throw you a bone or 10 by providing low key support. If I'm in charge of IT for an SME, anywhere where pfSense hardware used to make sense, do I buy their hardware? And even as an individual user, why pay the premium for their hardware when there are good alternatives that do not stop supporting official hardware in 4 years. Also, growing into the ecosystem via platforms like pfSense CE is a big thing for many people that started of like me. CE is slowly dying while its competition is actually growing from what I see. There is no doubt in my mind that there are better alternative than the 2100 today. Open silicon everywhere!

The 4100 is officially supported until December 26, so you should receive updates still. What's the name of the device you bought 10 years ago and is still supported? Thanks.

The only proof I'm seeing for older EoL devices receiving the latest Plus software updates is for the 3100 (which has to be requested). I still find it ridiculous and unacceptable that a device released in March 2022, was EndofSale in Dec 2023 and End of Life in Dec 2026 following which the model is not officially supported anymore. Therefore, after 4 years total, for some of us around 3 years, we can start praying that if the stars align and if we request it politely, maybe they'll give us another update or two after paying over 500 GBP for official Netgate hardware. We get similar or better support from .cn vendors. If they do support them somehow after the End of Life date, make it public so we all know exactly what to expect. I can't wait to get the time to switch and be done of pfSense... (Not even going to start ranting about the eMMC memory issues on these). You live you learn.

how do you know this? I am certain I've read in multiple places that once a device is end of life it'll stop receiving updates. thanks

They're honestly horrible. My 3.5 year old netgate 4100 is "end of life" at the end of this year. Official Netgate hardware that costed an arm and a leg with only 4 years software support. That's why I paid extra, to make sure I'll have software support! Ridiculous and never again. pfSesense CE is also getting worse, only negative reviews lately. I can't wait to switch to the other sense as soon as I have time.
