Welcome to my little rant about PF in FreeBSD and OpenBSD.

Good news is, with the improvements I did to wordpress, my server didn't even notice the thundering herd. :flan_trophy: 
 @8ceaf2ff Heh, I read that and didn’t notice it was you.

PF in its incarnations is my favorite firewall ever. I was spoiled by it, then had to configure Linux’s flavor-of-the-year, and it made me sad. I think everyone should be made to read man pf.conf before being allowed to develop an alternative. It would avoid so much suffering.
