Intrusion Detection and Prevention / WAN or LAN on Small Home Network?
« on: May 03, 2018, 01:47:34 pm »
Hi. Fairly new to all this. Simple set-up, so far.
WAN > ISP MODEM > OPNSENSE > LAN and WIFI (bridged)
Small home network. WIFI Bridged to LAN (working, but not quite there yet. WIFI drops when LAN activity ceases for a while).
Have Suricata watching over the WAN but I ask myself... wouldn't Suricata be better provisioned if it was watching the LAN (and therefore also the WIFI, I assume)? Given that the firewall will be dealing with the WAN.
Thanks.
