It is. Many of us use OpenBSD connected directly to the Internet, myself included. The key is in how you configure your OpenBSD system.
If you happen to have a spare system lying around, you can make your own OpenBSD router on the cheap. All you need is two Ethernet ports, an unmanaged switch, and this OpenBSD FAQ page:
https://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/example1.html (and you can ignore the WiFi parts if you don't want WiFi).
I've even done it with a laptop with a dead screen and a USB->Ethernet dongle.
And then you don't have to worry about bloaty impossible to not misconfigure desktop software.
