Heya!

I would use some pfsense/m0n0wall instead, as they do offer far more options, and may eat up snort rules (it can be installed and either log or act depending on what you want). Maybe kali on some rpi would also do the whole trick…

Just one question, speaking of testing: what do you use on the other side? Some devices, virtual machines, a mix… ? I'd be interested for my own dev ;).

Cheers,

C.
