Is there a router/firewall distro or administration tool for OpenBSD that's recommendable (e.g. like pfsense without all the enterprisey bloat, or like securityrouter without the licensing stuff)?
- notaplumber 9y agoNot a distro, but if you're intimidated by the prospect of editing configuration files using vi(1), you might like Chris Cappuccio's nsh project. http://www.nmedia.net/nsh/ http://www.nmedia.net/nsh/
- Gracana 9y agoTrueOS is making rapid improvements to their sysadm tool (client/server system for managing TrueOS machines), iirc (from a recent BSD Now episode) there's work going into improving the firewall management interface. This isn't really a recommendation to switch to TrueOS, but it is a recommendation to keep an eye on their progress. [edit] D'oh, for some reason I read "like pfsense" but missed "for openbsd."
- geggam 9y agovi / emacs ?
- protomyth 9y agoWhat problem are you trying to solve. I use it for a firewall and really only have a couple of files I back up or change.
- throwawayish 9y agoI have a Linux-based router/firewall, but it's all configuration files and stuff. Something with fancy graphs and statistics would be nice :)
- protomyth 9y agolike pfstat http://www.benzedrine.ch/pfstat.html http://www.benzedrine.ch/pfstat.html or something different?
- yellowapple 9y agoFor what it's worth, PF is a lot easier to work with than iptables. The configuration files involved (namely: pf.conf) are easy to read/write and well-documented.
- stock_toaster 9y agoNever used it, but one of the openbsd devs (Reyk Flöter) started this apparently. https://www.esdenera.com https://www.esdenera.com
