Since OpenBSD can be backdoored[1] with the same ease that the Linux kernel could be backdoored, I have no idea why all the fuss. Debian is pretty thorough in NOT including proprietary software if that&#x27;s what we&#x27;re talking about.<p>As far as I&#x27;m concerned, it&#x27;s good to have options and the OpenBSD developers have created software that I use daily (OpenSMTPd, SSH, PF, etc.) and for that, I&#x27;m thankful!<p>ps. I know that developing IPSEC backdoors is not easy by any means. But the subsequent Theo De Raadt answer, was that he can&#x27;t tell if there are backdoors or not. That was my point.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;marc.info&#x2F;?l=openbsd-tech&amp;m=129236621626462&amp;w=2" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;marc.info&#x2F;?l=openbsd-tech&amp;m=129236621626462&amp;w=2</a>
