I’m not sure anyone shares the same glee I feel when I view all the blocked IPs scrolling by in my pFsense firewall. Suricata does a lot of heavy lifting for sure.
What’s your selfhosting guilty pleasure or pleasures?

Why do I like to watch them? Can’t explain that fully, but I also find watching the flows in ntopng to be fascinating. Maybe I’m just easily entertained. As far as why I would run pfsense over OpenWrt or similar, it’s mainly what I know and I can drive the pfsense bus well enough. Back in the day I experimented around with OpenWrt, and it may have improved over the years, but I found it kludgy.
ETA: Also to do IDS/IPS you’ll have to install Suricata, Snort or SoftEther anyways so…
