We have an ancient "appliance" firewall here running OpenBSD 2.8 and
IPFilter v3.3.18. I'm planning on upgrading the hardware, and this will lead
to an OS change/upgrade. It doesn't look like IPFilter is supported in
versions of OpenBSD later than 3.5, so I'm looking at either FreeBSD or
NetBSD. (I need to be able to use IPFilter in the most recent stable release.)
Are there any reasons for favoring one BSD variant over another in a firewall
application?
Thanks,
Mike
