I always had this question - can something like pfsense be built on linux with comparable performance or is there something inherent to the whole stack that makes this effective?
I have always wondered if building pfsense on a modern linux kernel + selinux + BPF with something like nginx/lua scripting (for addon packages) would make more sense.
