  • pfSense

    Main repository for pfSense

  • No, it's not. pfSense Community Edition is open source, you can find it up to date here: https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense but the version installed on Negate appliances is going to be closed source. This was made and clarified in their announcement of pfSense Plus the other day: https://www.netgate.com/blog/announcing-pfsense-plus.html

  • FreeBSD-src

    FreeBSD src with pfSense changes (by pfsense)

  • But the community edition is fully open source? As available on github: https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-src By core do you mean like the main kernel. I don't agree that a company should take someone else is work modify it and then pass it off as there own. to me that is just morally wrong. so in which this falls under false advertisement. Tbh I can see this as a good reason why people are moving away. looks like I have some labbing to do.
