https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=235920 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-issue 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 omit 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.). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
