- annoyingnoob 6y agoIf it helps, OSX is based on BSD. I've had great success with pfSense. I found great tuning advice here: https://calomel.org https://calomel.org Edit: Not sure why I'm getting down votes for trying to provide info. I didn't down vote anything in this thread.
- WarOnPrivacy 6y agoI can't find any logic in downvoting a declaration like this (and the parent Q). It really seems like lashing out at good-faith.
- Datagenerator 6y agoBSD adheres the POLA principle and is serving many PB of data in production at work. Rock solid and no sudden changes. The manual pages are to me of higher quality when compared to Linux. POLA Principle Of Least Astonishment
- WarOnPrivacy 6y agoI can't argue with any of that.
- sgt 6y agoOSX changed its name 5 years ago to macOS. For what it's worth, I've also had great success with pfSense. Ran it for years at our company. Recently we've migrated to Mikrotik, but to be honest I fail to see any major advantage. It's perhaps easier to train people in learning to use Mikrotik.
- anoki 6y agoI didn't downvote but it could be you got some downvotes because calomel has a bad reputation among BSD people. They have put bad and dangerous advice in their tuning and performance posts. People who follow this advice and shoot themselves in the foot sometimes come to the mailing lists looking for help, and it turns out their problems were caused by copy pasting from an unofficial source instead of reading and understanding the documentation.
