Hello, The question mentioned before is right, a little more description is helping regarding your infrastructure. I'm loving OpenBSD as firewall, it performs well enough and is secure by default, so if you get rules right, you have very quickly something very good for an affordable effort. Most importantly, you have a very well documented firewall through man pages and faq, therefore a very small probability of human error, the ever persisting root of imperfection if I could say.
