Set Home Networks dynamically

[tcpip]

Hello,

I have IPS enabled on the WAN interfaces of my OPNsense box. As I have my public IPs (with NAT) directly on the OPNsense, I must add the IPs to the Home networks field. This isn't a problem for my primary WAN link which has a static IP address. However, on my backup link the IP changes every now and then. Is there a way to edit the Home Networks dynamically via a script? It should be doable by editing the HOME_NET variable in the suricata.yaml, I guess. But is there a better way? I think the API does not provide access to the Home Networks setting, at least I do not know how.

Thanks!

I solved this with a Python script and a cron job to check if there was an IP change. On a change I edit a custom YAML config containing the vars and set the current WAN IPs as HOME_NET. After updating the config, the script restarts Suricata.

Would you be willing to share what you did with us?
So people less good at scripting might use your solution as well?

Anybody else have an idea?
