I have no reason to switch out CE. I recommend businesses to go pfSense Plus for TAC support. If CE disappears then I'll jump ship to Opensense with the rest of the FOSS community.

opensense? never used it, but it's on my possible candidates for go to if when, pfsense CE is no longer viable at some point. Best plan ahead what you are going to do

atm i like running pfsense ce for now on this kind of hardware (rather than outright buy the router from pfsense themselves because u pay more for less spec otherwise)

lawrence talks about plus adding a feature that won't come with CE. also that plus update came out way before a CE release (not sure when)

openvpn dco he mentioned a possible performance in dl/ul in regards to using that feature when both client and server side supports it

zfs boot environment and vpn dco both seem to be exclusive to pfsense plus ......
