Dear all,

Pardon my ignorance, is it possible to use OpenBSD to provide firewalling to Qubes?
I have nearly zero confidence in GNU/Linux although I use it everyday.

Kind regards,

If you search this list you'll see this has already been covered.
You can install openBSD as HVM, and with some manipulation of basic
Qubes networking, have it act as a netvm. Thus take place of sys-net or
sys-firewall.

You can find some notes that may help here:
