It always amazes me when people ask for stuff like this. The defaults exist for a reason. It's not like the Devs didn't think about this stuff. OBSD has always expected its users to think. If you want to step outside the defaults then you better damn well know what you are doing. Don't ask for anything to help you with it. It's the single biggest thing I HATE bout MS. It's always trying to think for you and it is ALWAYS wrong.
