https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D235920 Franco Fichtner <franco@opnsense.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |franco@opnsense.org --- Comment #6 from Franco Fichtner <franco@opnsense.org> --- Speaking for pf/OPNsense scope the management of this limitation is a non-i= ssue since you have to manage manage the target device names as unique anyway so= you never end up creating something with an intermediate name twice (or just om= it the index and it's fine you will even get the device name back). And tun/tap is a little tricky in its own regard here since the device nodes that may be required by the service are never being renamed (/dev/tunX etc.= ). --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
