Untangle Forums - View Single Post - Advertising on bottom of Webfilter block page. Hijacked?

The product that we sell as Rhino Box only goes out to the market with Paid Apps, but today we where doing some tests on some boxes fresh installed and OHH MY GOD, Ads on the Web Filter Page? That is not such a good idea for a security product, we will never sell a Rhino without the minimal required paid apps, but this shift of revenue is awfull. I like Untangle very much but if the standard customer that just asks "hey on our business we have tried Untangle, isn't that the box that advertise Adware with the Spyware and Web Filter blocker?" That would be very, very, very bad, and it is just around the corner. I have always thought, to build a good reputation takes years, even decades, but to drown it, it can take just one update!

Untangle Dev team, understood the revenue needs, but re-analyze this ad-block-needs, it is horrible and it is lowering the Untangle great idea reputation.
