Is there a router/firewall distro or administration tool for OpenBSD that's recommendable (e.g. like pfsense without all the enterprisey bloat, or like securityrouter without the licensing stuff)?

Not a distro, but if you're intimidated by the prospect of editing configuration files using vi(1), you might like Chris Cappuccio's nsh project.

TrueOS is making rapid improvements to their sysadm tool (client/server system for managing TrueOS machines), iirc (from a recent BSD Now episode) there's work going into improving the firewall management interface. This isn't really a recommendation to switch to TrueOS, but it is a recommendation to keep an eye on their progress.

[edit] D'oh, for some reason I read "like pfsense" but missed "for openbsd."

What problem are you trying to solve. I use it for a firewall and really only have a couple of files I back up or change.

I have a Linux-based router/firewall, but it's all configuration files and stuff. Something with fancy graphs and statistics would be nice :)

vi / emacs ?
