[RndTbl] Main firewall / router for public facing subnet

[Alberto Abrao]

Personal preference. I would rather mess with a GUI after I understand 
the changes it is making under the hood. It helps me make sense of 
everything.

When it comes to GUIs, OpenBSD gets a big advantage as most GUI-based 
OSS solutions for firewalling are based on BSDs, so I assume they would 
all be similar if not equal. I expect to have to have a GUI on top of 
whatever I deal with on a setup that's not my own, as that would be more 
convenient for most people or even myself on a regular day.

Last, I assume you mean pf(4), as I can't find anything for of(4). Am I 
right?

Thank you everyone.
