OPNids / OPNsense with suricata
«

May I ask something about OPNids / OPNsense here?
OPNids sounds interesting but how is it aligned with OPNsense?
Is it a new prodcut based on opnsense, where opnsense & suricata is streamlined in one product? (With additional MLE).
If I already use OPNsense now, is there a migration path. - do I need one?
or will there be a package, if I'd like to use OPNids?
will it replace the ids package on opnsense?
is it intended to have a separated ids / suricata instance next to a firewall like opnsense?

Hi,
OPNids is a single-purpose fork for building on top of the intrusion detection capabilities. It doesn't offer a full OPNsense feature set. It also does not follow our update schedule.
There is no migration between them. OPNids is tailored for environments where you use a single appliance for IDS capabilities.
There may come a day when OPNids improvements are brought to OPNsense, but that is up to the OPNids authors to decide.
Cheers,
Franco
