As far as I understand the situation on unix platforms are

  1. On Linux it uses GetRandom
  2. On any other UNix it uses /dev/random

On atleast two BSD's (openbsd and netbsd) the ar4random is considered better. Would you be willing to take pull request for these sources based on the os matching

Okey I will try sending you a pull request some time. Is there an easy way to test it in CI ?
