It wasn't veiled at all, Ryan. Nor am I attempting to "win anyone over".
This individual has always been cranky. He wanted us to add code to squidGuard to support username+password downloads so he could sell users of pfSense his lists. We said, "No". If I though Mr. Nichols "offering" (blacklists) was of any value, I'd have sent him $2800.00 for a lifetime subscription for everyone using pfSense over a year ago. http://www.squidblacklist.org/commercial.html The only reasons I haven't: - I can't see any value in what he has. - I don't do business with anyone who would post this as a response: https://vid.me/MsYw (warning: nsfw) All this individual is offering is a collection of other people's blacklists, promoted on Twitter, leveraging (and likely infringing) Cisco's trademark. Curation can be valuable, if performed correctly. The value of a content curator is their ability to filter through the volumes of content and select the best, the most original, the most valuable, pieces. This individual isn't doing any of these. pfBlockerNG is a far better solution.
