pfsense

Why do you think BSD is sinking? Do you have a link to a story? I would really like them to move, I love linux and pfsense....
 
Netflix uses BSD for content delivery so I'm not sure they are sinking.

Lagging a bit in certain areas perhaps.
 
Here I thought BSD was pioneering the networking side of Linux.

Although I did read this a while back...

iptables was released with the 2.4 kernel at which point PF was not released yet as it only released 11 months later on OpenBSD only. To my knowledge there's no linux port for it.

They were around the same time, agreed. And they were very similar, despite BSD always being seen as the "purer" firewall implementation. But back to the OP's topic: Is BSD sinking and why?

BSD is showing its age and unwillingness to lead. It only ever argues why never to implement something. systemd is an example.

All we have on linux is firewalld from redhat. It works but there is no fancypants UI. I'm hope they put some more effort into cockpit.

Many, many years ago I used fwbuilder. I see that it's still around.

Edit: I see that it was abandoned in 2013, what a pity. I ran 5-10 firewalls with it.

It worked very well, especially when managing a large number of firewalls, not sure why they abandoned it, especially since there does not seem to be anything better to replace it.
