why? This is not a rethorical question: maybe I chose it for bad reasons? I'm an openBSD almost newbie and chose relayd because relayd is default and I had the intuition that relayd, httpd and pf are designed to work together in a modular way so it was the idiomatic choice. I have to admit It wasn't as easy as I expected to dive in but I blamed my complete openBSD inexperience (no previous pf usage). I think I now have a better understanding about how it works and my next step is to setup SSL (if I correctly understand it, what I want is relayd to deal with the encrypted trafic from/to internet and the local traffic is plain). I have to admit a more didactic documentation is missing but my real question is: is there a problem with relayd itself ? is it unmaintained? suffer a bad design? have performance or consumption problem? If so, why is it still default? Regards, -- Marc Chantreux
