IIRC FreeBSD has a quite outdated version of pf, that hasn't been synced with OpenBSD upstream in quite a while.
I like FreeBSD for the breadth of features, but in some cases it feels like they've pushed it to an extreme, a bit of a kitchen sink. I don't think you need three different firewalls, a single good one would do a better job.
- toast0 3y agoI don't know that it's necessarily outdated, more than it's a fork that evolved differently, and I don't think they'll reconverge. I actively use ipfw and pf (at the same time!) because neither one can do all the things I need. I've never used the third one though.
- anthk 3y agoThat's why I prefer OpenBSD vs NetBSD and FreeBSD. Correctness at the core technologies before pushing any new cool feature. >I don't think you need three different firewalls, a single good one would do a better job. This.
