IamWardicus Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I know you're fairly set with your current business model - but I would most happily pay a licensing fee to install DumaOS on my own dedicated x86 / x64 box to use as a dedicated wired router (I use my own access points). Just a long term planning thought I'd toss your way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 11, 2020 Administrators Share Posted November 11, 2020 Hey, welcome to the forum! Awesome to hear that is something that you'd like to see, I will add it to our request list. Just my own 2cents on it, once you start providing software for download it would be very easy to pirate it but I'm sure there is something the devs could do if they wanted to go down that route. Thanks for the suggestion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiefpoppindude Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Yeah, I agree. I also run my own x86 box and paying to buy a license would definitely be something I’d do. Untangle also does this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamWardicus Posted November 12, 2020 Author Share Posted November 12, 2020 Perhaps require an authentication server? Unsure how Untangle / Sophos handle their requirements. I'd pay a pretty penny though to be able to build my own box. If DumaOS is based off of linux than it might be possible. If it's ground up software than it's very unlikely to happen.

IamWardicus Posted November 13, 2020 Author Share Posted November 13, 2020 One other alternative depending on resources: A more powerful wired only router and don't include wireless. That's my main thing in the personal sense. I utilize my own wireless access points. I would prefer to have a wired box only that will be more future proof as hardware advanced vs wireless hardware that is money wasted having it included.

Juanchopablo Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I currently have Untanlge and I would love to test/buy DumaOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem I can see is DumaOS would have to be compliant with every computer on the planet for it to work as they have no idea what 'box' you are installing it on, this could be an issue as its not a fat binary as far I'm as aware.

Juanchopablo Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I don't think it work that way, you only have to be compliant wit x86/x64. It could be physical hardware or virtual machine (this is useful for cloud deployments) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I see that issue too. It's already kind of a mess trying to integrate and play nice with Netgear code and changes. Especially when they can't fix their dated code and have to approve of all the netduma changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
