This seems like not the best example since FreeBSD has 3 implementations that may be in use depending on the whims of the sysadmin.
- antranigv 2y agoFreeBSD has 3 different firewalls, not 3 different interfaces to the same firewall. Each firewall has its own purpose. IPF is lightweight, pf has a nice UI/UX, ipfw is very integrated into the system. More importantly, doing a simple kldstat would tell you which firewall is running. On Ubuntu (as an example) I have no idea if I should be using nftables, iptables or if ufw is working or not.
