An important feature lacking for now as far as I know is content/web filtering especially for corporates wishing to block inappropriate/time wasting content like facebook.

1. That's not a firewall function. That's a censorship function. 2. You can of course easily do that via a variety of means, including BOGUS'ing the domains in DNS, blocking port 80 traffic to their network allocations, running an HTTP proxy that blocks them, etc. I presume that any minimally-competent censor could easily devise a first-order solution (using the software packages supplied with OpenBSD) in an afternoon. ---rsk
