Why OpenBSD

Proactive security01

Only two remote holes in the default install in over 25 years. The entire codebase is continuously audited.

pf firewall02

The best packet filter in the BSD world. Clean syntax, powerful NAT, and rock-solid reliability.

Minimal attack surface03

Secure by default. Services are off unless you turn them on. No bloat, no surprises.

httpd, smtpd, relayd04

Production-ready daemons built into the base system. No packages needed for basic services.

Perfect for

Firewalls and VPNs01

pf + WireGuard or OpenVPN. The gold standard for self-hosted network security.

DNS servers02

unbound is in the base system. Run your own recursive resolver with zero extra packages.

Mail servers03

OpenSMTPD ships with OpenBSD. Battle-tested, minimal config, production ready.

Security research04

If you care about OS security, OpenBSD is the reference implementation. Period.

Web hosting05

httpd + relayd handle most web workloads. Or install nginx from packages if you need more.

Paranoia06

If you don't trust Linux, you probably run OpenBSD. We get it.
