There are several possible alternatives that don't use binat, such as:

  • Place your local hosts on a separate Ethernet and NIC, which you bridge with your external NIC:
    Code:
    [internet]---[external NIC]-[OpenBSD]-[NAT addressed private network]
                                      |
                                      |
                             [exposed NIC]
  • A classic dual firewall with DMZ, though typically, the DMZ is on a private subnet with exposed servers and/or ports:
    Code:
    [internet]---[FW1]---{DMZ servers}---[FW2]--{private net}
What's wrong with binat?
