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?

    I get a good deal of satisfaction seeing my aliases of blocked connections.
    Not really a guilty pleasure though.
    Do you feel guilty if I’d asked you about that?

      Yeah I probably would because I spend a lot of time watching it, blocking new threats and unwanted guests. My goal is to achieve the cleanest stream possible.

        Good luck on achieving that.
        You’ll be more successfull in whitelisting every possible connection instead ;)

        Spend some time (IMO too much) mysealf researching ASNs and publicly accessible blocklists of datacenters/crawlers.
        Not an easy task.

        Edit: Grammar (lol)

          Man, why you want to trample on my vision? LOL My default is ‘deny all until something complains, and address PRN.’ Some of my more productive lists are the Internet Storm set, a lot of Firebog lists, and some I’ve compiled myself. Tons of CIDR rejects, not a whole lot of passes.

            No offense intended.
            Like I mentioned earlier: I am doing that myself.

            Also have some of the firebog lists, spamhaus and my very own which I have recently started.

            Currently also in the progress of doing my own ublock origin blocklist.
            It’s all coming along pretty nicely!
