I would really love to see "pf" on Linux.

When I began using Linux, "ipfwadm" had just been incorporated into the kernel. It was replaced in 2.2 by "ipchains" which was replaced in 2.4 by "iptables". Now we have "nftables".

I'll admit to not knowing much about nftables but from what I've read about it in the last few days, it's still not even close to what OpenBSD's "pf" is capable of.

Ahhh, well, I can wish, right?
