Coming from FreeBSD and pf, all Linux firewalls I’ve tried feels clunky _at best_ UX-wise.

I’d love a Linux firewall configured with a sane config file and I think BSD really nailed it. It’s easy to configure and still human readable, even for more advanced firewall gateway setups with many interfaces/zones.

A have no doubt that Linux can do all the same stuff feature-wise, but oh god the UX :/

Can't you just give the information you are hinting at? Other people than OP read this. You basically tell me to go read thousands of messages on a mailing list just solve your rhetorical question. (answer: Intel, Redhat, Meta, Google, Suse, Arm and Oracle. There are much more efficient ways to find this.) Yes, they are the main kernel contributors and have been for many years. I'm still not sure I understand the comment.

I didn't know of the existence of SNI and thought that all traffic through TLS was encrypted. SNI sounds like a terrible idea: it should be obvious that leaking domain names will be abused and makes a mockery of any little cute icon in the browser (your government, police, ISP, airline knows what sites you visit). It would have been better to have a secure (ignoring DNS) inconvenient technology stack than a convenient somewhat-secure stack.

Before SNI every https site needed a dedicated IP address. As https got more popular SNI was introduced

Or Dokku, Dokploy or CapRover

Would be great to have a comparison on the main page of Disco
