Hi,
What's the "best" [1] choice for firewalling these days, in the list's
opinion?
I can't speak for the whole list. ;-)
But in my opinion with tables totaling over 150 million IPs. I'm casting a
vote
for pf(4). It's wildly easy on resources and as fast and flexible as I could
ever
hope to want. Started using it years ago, and never looked back. :-)
There's pf, ipf and ipfw. Which is the one being most recently
developed/updated?
I'm used to using pf, have done for over a decade. But OpenBSD's pf has
diverged a
lot more from when it first came across. There seems to be a lot more
options.
Is FreeBSD's pf being actively developed still?
Yes. It is actively developed.
ipfw seems a lot more syntatically complex than pf. Is it more capable also?
I know nothing about ipf yet.
[1] up-to-date, versatile, low overhead, high throughput, IPv6-able,
traffic shaping/queueing
thanks,
