Oct 9, 2021 · Firewall -> openbsd console, graphical web interface -> microsoft. The powerfull and stable operating system that OpenBSD is, should be never used for a desktop or so, this is not the goal of that system. This is a good start to understand why OpenBSD is …

Nov 5, 2014 · I want to build an OpenBSD firewall and router instead of my old WRT 54G running with DD-WRT. I need gigabit, low power, fanless and preferably a low price. I was looking at Soekris 6501-50, but the Soekris products are a very expensive. Any recommendations for alternative hardware or is there no way around the Soekris products?

Jun 16, 2022 · OpenBSD does not have a limit of 300mbit. I've personally had systems running at 10Gbps[1]. But seriously, for real hardware[2] you can easily get several gigs of internet traffic.

Apr 17, 2023 · My perception here is that on OpenBSD 7.3, pf is a more secure packet filter than the FreeBSD fork in either FreeBSD-Current or the fork that the OpnSense/PfSense camp has built their product on. Specific to this I would say that OpenBSD's pf went through a syntax update sometime before release 6.8. I feel that the new syntax is easier to ...

Mar 28, 2020 · I was installing OpenBSD 6.6 recently on a MacBook 2,1(late 2007, A1181) and found out, that it was running with an 32-bit EFI but had a 64-bit processor (Intel Core 2 Duo). That caused a lot of trouble. I was finally able to boot …

In case you're experienced with OpenBSD there is no need to take the intermediate step (pfSense uses pf, which is ported from the OpenBSD project and keeps a rule dump in /tmp/rules.debug which can be used as a point of departure to build your rule set, so you can start with pfSense and then migrate to OpenBSD later on, this is the route I'm ...

Mar 26, 2020 · The connection should be 100/100 Mbps; the current firewall which has 100 Mbps ports (a Soekris running OpenBSD and pf) doesn't do the job. I have 2 servers and an Access-Point on the LAN-side, 2 laptops using the AP, then 2 …

Apr 24, 2021 · A solid OS based on OpenBSD would have made a unique security-focused firewall, good for OpenBSD and OPNSense. OpenBSD sounds like made right for a firewall security appliance. Otherwise, if transition to OpenBSD is infeasible, sticking with HardenedBSD might be a better choice for OPNSense.

Jan 12, 2021 · These scripts will function perfectly fine using only the utilities available within the OpenBSD base system. As always, the code is extremely portable -- pf-badhost will run on any OS featuring the PF firewall and unbound-adblock will run on pretty much any Unix-like OS, including Linux. pf-badhost makes it super easy to do things like:

Feb 2, 2022 · I use hyper-v to prevent to buy many computers that can be acheived in one or two. hyper-v is less stable than openbsd but is good enough for home use, i see 2-3 blue screens in 6 mounths but I use 5 2.5 gbs lan on it, openbsd has 8 hvn adapters cause I use virtual swith too and usb rndis for 5g router too (max hvn allowed on windows 10). if I ...
