I figure this might be of interest to all of you that are rocking Mikrotik CHR and running against its limitations. Netgate's TNSR software router is now free for non-commercial use and $499 per year for commercial use. No bandwidth limits, go as fast as your hardware can pass packets.

Sadly we're literally not allowed to own it.  It's a USDA "ReConnect" grant.  The grant awardee is the muni.  USDA will have a hand on the wheel and their contract will literally not allow anyone but the awardee to own the network. We could potentially buy the network afterwards with USDA

It'll start out like most marriages. That should be all you need to know. I'd keep an eye on the divorce rates :) In my case I have the perfect wife.. but dealing with municipalities and government you can expect your wife to be a "Karen". I'd ensure you own the fiber and have access to work
