However you will still be able to use ftp-archive.freebsd.org which will have copies of 11.x available indefinitely. > 2.

Remember the ports will cease to support 11.x at the same time. That often means a small flood of changes will be implemented that had been held back because of incompatibility with 11.x. So don't count on being able to update any applications with known security problems after the EoL either. It might work, or it might not: no guarrantees. Cheers, Matthew
