Hello all!

Netgate® Releases TNSR® High Performance Router Version 21.03

Tue, 09 Mar 2021 00:00:00 +0000

TNSR software release 21.03 is here, and not a day too soon! Our intent was to release in February, which would have made it 21.02. Unfortunately, Texas came to a screeching halt about two weeks ago when (what we unaffectionately refer to as) ‘Snowpocalypse’ hit. Many of our engineers and release management staff - all of whom have been working from home since March 2020 - were left without power and/or water for days. It wasn’t pleasant. Nonetheless, the team powered through and only missed February by a few days.

pfSense: Obscure Bugs and Code Wizards

Thu, 25 Feb 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Last week, February 17, we released pfSense Plus 21.02 alongside pfSense CE 2.5. It was the culmination of 9 months of work on new features, testing, and bug fixing, and we were quite proud of it. Unfortunately, an obscure and esoteric bug lurked inside that resulted in an All Hands On Deck call for our engineering and support teams. Today’s blog will dive into the interesting details of how our team handled and debugged this as the outstanding professionals they are, and how this team really makes Netgate special. The following gets technical in places, but I think you’ll appreciate the insight it brings.
