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.
