For using pfSense there are no mandatory support costs. It is free open
source software. However, unless you have the expertise, I would recommend
highly to get the support from one of the vendors who develop the project.

Re: [pfSense] support costs?

2015-01-06 Thread Rick Payton
I’m recommending pfSense (and hardware from netgate) for a job that I’ll be 
very hands off of. The people that will be doing the work, I have no idea what 
skillset they’ll be bringing to the table, so I wanted to be sure there was an 
official paid support channel they could access. I personally use pfSense for 
work and home, and fairly comfortable with it, hence why I’m recommending it 
over other stuff. It’s well worth the money IMHO.

 Aloha,
 
 I'm working on a list of firewalls that can act as a VPN endpoint to 
 recommend for a small remote waste water treatment plant (it currently runs a 
 consumer level netgear router, with VNC port forwarded back to the HMI), and 
 I need to factor in support subscription costs.
 
 Is there a direct e-mail address I can hit at either Netgate or ESF to 
 discuss cost and what's included, or is it ok to discuss it here?
 
 Mahalo,
