  Definately needs this to stay competitive with other router software. Easy to implement. Grub-efi is already on the USB media.

  News Flash.... Intel is phasing out the Legacy boot option we're all used to using for our own builds on whatever machine you love building with (dell, hp, etc..). Untangle team, when is UEFI going to be supported???? Time is running out.

  This is definitely needed. My new board has no legacy boot support as Intel is forcing UEFI for most newer motherboards.

  This 100% needs to be implemented asap.
  I wanted to try this but my Supermicro server I use as a router doesnt support Legacy installs... As such I'm outta luck.

  It will be support when Untangle is based off of Debian 10.x. Any timeline for that?

  We purchased 9 Dell computers to replace our existing Untangle installs on all 9 sites. Checked in months ago and were told the fix was in the works. What is the status? Newly manufactured systems are not compatible. What is the time frame before this gets fixed?

  With Intels push to remove bios boot on future chipsets, its imperative that you guys adopt uefi boot soon.

  Been asking about this for over a year. New systems are not compatible with your product. Does not seem you want to support users using their own devices. I need to know goal date or will be forced to change products. Its been over a year of "we don't know when".

  If you have a purely UEFI bootable device like I do with no legacy boot option you can install Untangle (Debian) first and once the install is finished you can install Ubuntu and choose the dual boot option and then change the default OS that boots via Grub customizer in order to boot the Untangle OS first.

  I read in a forum post somewhere else today that they were going to support UEFI boot w/ Debian 10, which came w/ the latest 15.1 upgrade. So, technically I think it should be supported now?

  "UEFI BOOT SUPPORT" (suggested by Mark Davis on 2019-12-14), including upvotes (4) and comments (1), was merged into this suggestion.

  Do to the lack of UEFI support, I was forced ( due to hardware upgrades) to swap from Untangle, MY FAV!, to ipfire. Can anyone tell us when UEFI support will be baked in?

  Tested on a QOTOM-Q355G4, The installer locks up at the menu for selecting a graphical installer or text based. Version 15 installed and runs without issue.
