    This is a mess. Please support existing installations with UTM beyond 2026. These appliances just do what they should and they do ist really good.

    We will never sell XGS as long as no simple lets encrypt implementation will be available. Why? Replacing certificates every year for VPN, user portal, SMTP TLS and WAV is a stupid and senseless job. The UTM approach with lets encrypt is an intelligent solution. XGS is dead therefore for us. Some other competitors are more attractive.

    There were also some other limitations with XGS (using port 443 with VPN and WAF was not possible even with several IP addresses or 2 WAN lines for some time, if I am not wrong, maybe this is fixed in the meantime, I don't know).

    Nevertheless: UTM is still on demand and we would pay for.

    BTW: will UTM Home be stopped also in 2026?

    There is no difference in the product between home users and the commercial one, it's just a matter of license applied to UTM, which would also stop when EoL occurs.

    So yes, home would be stopped.  You can use XG for it at least.  :\  I'm trying it out now.  Not sure if I will keep it or not yet.
