What is free software? Free software is software that respects our freedom. This is exactly the opposite of the philosophy of the FSF, and it's quite sad to see former open source developers sell out like this. Basically, these developers had an open source software project, waited until it got popular enough that they could sell it, now they are going to fork it, rebrand it, and sell it. This is the closest comment to my thought, but you stopped just short of calling this what it is. Responsive, quick to manage (byebye pfsense) Question: What now?

Thanks for all your support over the years and we hope you continue to use and enjoy Firewall Builder. We will be announcing our first product very soon, but for now you can register for updates and find more information at. Our new company, NetCitadel, is developing a security orchestration platform for enterprise customers that brings real-time intelligence to existing security devices. This was a chance of a lifetime that we just couldn’t pass up and unfortunately it means that we no longer have time available to work on improving and supporting Firewall Builder. We had an exciting opportunity come up to start a company developing advanced security automation solutions. You might be wondering why we are doing this. Without you we wouldn’t have been able to keep things going this long. Firewall Builder has been a great project to work on and we have truly appreciated all the support and positive feedback that the user community has provided.

Quote from the mailing list on Sourceforge:Īfter working on Firewall Builder for many years it is with some sadness that Vadim and I are announcing that we have suspended all development activity for this project.
