Thanks for the relayd example. It's not something I had really looked into, but was 'stuck' using nginx as I didn't want to figure out a OpenBSD-way of implementing a reverse proxy alongside using httpd.


That's great. Yep, I'd been using Nginx for similar reasons, but after I found out about HTTPD now supporting url rewrites and relayd being able to do pretty much the same things that Nginx can do, I figured it was much better to switch to a pure OpenBSD solution for web servers.

P.s. The guide should feel a lot cleaner, I fixed some issues with it as well as a problem with the way the relayd.conf was being generated and also added the full script at the end of it.

Good luck!


Thank you, US Gov, for painting the lines so clearly.

You're on that side, where you will stay. Don't worry, we will come to you.


Agreed. I've taken to treating my linux installs like I used to treat Windows: no internet access expect application specific.

For example, I run a Visionfive 2 OpenBSD install with squid, everything else has to go through that.


Curious why squid and not pf?


squid is a http(s) proxy and pf is a firewall. They do not do the same thing.


I assumed it wasn’t doing tls interception as simply using it to allow/disallow internet traffic from various internal hosts — pf works for that also.

Relayd also does a bunch of similar things and is closely integrated with pf too..


That's fair. I assumed he was using squid to filter/block ads and dodgy websites. You can also kind of do this with pf, but not as well.


I use openbsd for that purpose also, but with unbound :}


I used to do something similar with pf, unbound, and squid but on freebsd.


The time to stop pointing out these mistakes in their our politically tilted sandbox was years ago. Let their false-narratives cloud our approach.

Now is the time to join rank and make sure your powder is dry.
