Our documentation provides detailed information on installing and upgrading pfSense software on Netgate appliances and third-party hardware. Here are some helpful resources to review before upgrading:
Did you know that you can try TNSR® software for free? Netgate offers a no-charge, full-feature Home+Lab version of TNSR Software for evaluation. With industry-styled commands, the learning curve for using TNSR software is easier than you think, and you will have full access to TNSR documentation that includes recipes for common configurations. It is also worth considering that TNSR retails for a fraction of your company's current router spend.
Try TNSR today or contact sales@netgate.com to talk about your specific use case and see how TNSR can reduce your total cost of ownership for high-speed routing.
