License cost increased by 476% from July 2017 without notice!!!

We decided to use pfSense with 100,80$ of licence per month.
Then I realized that from July, the license cost is 476,16$ per month.

No advice received in advance.

POSTROUTING and PREROUTING not possible

It seems to be a nice appliance for VPN NAT-T IPSEC tunnels, but there is not any possibility to use POSTROUTING and PREROUTING rules from iptables, and for me they are essential.
It just a simple firewall, I will keep my Openswan

2 hours in and I've made no progress

The "quick start guide" (that's anything but) isn't up to date, isn't easy to read and I think makes assumptions that aren't clear to me (new to VPCs and networking on AWS, but I have 15 years in planning and building networks).

I wanted to like this despite the $50/mo premium, but I can't get it running for lack of clear documentation so for now, it's useless.

It's technically a great product, but pricey for its business value

  • May 21, 2014

Working everyday with products from the large telecom vendors, I tend to get the rationale of the 0.07$/h price-point, which represents a 613.20$ annual total-cost (0.07 x 24hours x 365days).

However, what's disappointing is that when I look around at the medium-class vendors (the non top-5 brands), all their base support/software maintenance plans average 40-50% of what pfSense AMI is listing.

To add to that disappointment; no clear support number, or even a registration process to recognize that I am indeed operating a commercial license of pfSense.

I hope Netgate plans to introduce some form of added value in the near-future; I'd hate to have to move to another platform because I can't come-up with any decent business arguments to justify the costs.
