What do you think? Are Negate’s hardware solutions fit for purpose or just made for basic firewall functionality? If the answer is yes, how do we move forward with pfsense+? The way to go about it needs to be delicately managed.

Their desire to commercialise and make money out of their work is perfectly legitimate. We still don’t know how pfsense+ is going to handle the above, which, to be honest, is driving me away from Netgate altogether as their transition to pfsense+ is half baked in the eyes of the public because we don’t know, it relies on old, slow CPUs that cannot do much (as you have to buy a netgate box to use pfsense+ today), and pfsense CE is all but dead going forward. They don’t show throughput with IDS/IPS enabled, nor pfblocker. The SG-6100 is only suited for the who want to run firewall rules and the odd ipsec VPN (which are the exact measures they show on their website). I get many people don’t need that horsepower (and 46,000+ is overkill but to demonstrate on comparison of pricing) but for those who wish to use IDS/IPS, pfblocker and other packages, you must have a decent CPU with a CPU benchmark which is way, way over 2000+ that is in the newly released SG-6100. I can get a 46,000+ CPU benchmark PC cheaper than the XG-1541 that is 9000+ CPU benchmark. I want to run on bare metal, on third party hardware, to fulfil the gap that netgate have with their hardware. I do not like the idea of virtualising firewalls either (adds complexity). I looked at buying an XG-1541, but its a 6 year old CPU, its noisy because its rack mounted, and these reasons are key as to why people go and buy third party hardware. They just don’t sell hardware that can handle IDS/IPS, PFblocker, and any other additional CPU intensive tasks that make a firewall of today. It seems the pfsense / netgate hardware is designed for basic firewalling / IPsec. I am actively participating in a discussion in reddit, but I’d like to have a similar discussion here.
