PF had a MAJOR overhaul between OpenBSD 4.5 and OpenBSD 4.6 versions which is only nowrazrx said:That's a discussion on relayd, not pf itself.
The relayd FreeBSD port is indeed pretty outdated.
Oko said:Why do you think PF has never been ported to Linux. Let me guess. Because Linux IP tables which are originally based on IPFW of FreeBSD are superior.
Many Linux servers survived without PF and it is nothing unusual that Linux users don't like BSD (special OpenBSD) users...Oko said:PF had a MAJOR overhaul between OpenBSD 4.5 and OpenBSD 4.6 versions

In my experience most Linux users I met actually have never heard for BSD. How can you hate something that you have never heard of? The one like the Oliver who already answered your post and who is using Slackware since 1993 tent to use the best tool for the job. Unless you have tens of thousands dollars to run your network on proprietary hardware and software you best bet is OpenBSD. Obviously nobody is going to use OpenBSD for HPC, to run big Database or to do Flash development.lumiwa said:and it is nothing unusual that Linux users don't like BSD (special OpenBSD) users...
