IDS/VirtIO

[dragon2611]

Still seems to be a problem with IDS and VirtIO (Or at least something in my setup) that tends to brings griding to a halt if I turn it on.

For now I mirror the traffic to a secuirty onion VM and that seems to work, although it can't block automatically based on the results

Any news on this issue? I had a similar experience on a SmartOS KVM instance. I've not tried it again in a while since I'm remotely managing this box so I have to be sure it works.

It's worth a try on 17.1.a with FreeBSD 11.0 underneath, but I am fairly certain for portability em(4)/e1000 drivers are still the way to go.

thanks @franco!

So, switching to e1000 should help and hopefully enable me to turn on IDS?

I think so. To be extra sure that it's reliable, install the "os-intel-em" plugin from the firmware plugins tab, too.
