I’m not sure anyone shares the same glee I feel when I view all the blocked IPs scrolling by in my pFsense firewall. Suricata does a lot of heavy lifting for sure.
What’s your selfhosting guilty pleasure or pleasures?

Mine is using a network share to transfer files faster than any USB device we have at home.
…and how do you manage those speeds?
Three important factors:
- Gigabit ethernet
- SATA-attached storage
- My family not knowing what the fuck USB 3.0 is, and why blue USB is better than black USB.
Mine is seeing the “removed” and “started” when I update all my dockers
Can relate.
Use Watchtower. You’ll miss out on this pleasure though.
I like manual updates, keeps me in the loop
Not maintained anymore.
Please look for replacements and stop recommending it.
- Seeing the rising request count as ai bots circle around in iocaine
- Knowing where my photos and files are
- Having useful services that don’t require a subscription to random company
- Learning and experimenting with things
Learning and experimenting with things
This is the part I really love.
Seriously, of there is a guide for how a newbie can set this up, please let me know. My little website is being bashed everyday.
Iocaine? I followed the instructions on the website which were fairly easy to follow. Depending on your skill level it might suffice.

Sure, but why? If you’ve a simple router running OpenWrt or something with all WAN ports closed you basically have the same thing.
Maybe it’s a pretty graph/reports thing? I enjoy looking at the pihole dashboard and reviewing top blocked domains. I even look at the top allowed domains and add some to the blacklist.
Why do I like to watch them? Can’t explain that fully, but I also find watching the flows in ntopng to be fascinating. Maybe I’m just easily entertained. As far as why I would run pfsense over OpenWrt or similar, it’s mainly what I know and I can drive the pfsense bus well enough. Back in the day I experimented around with OpenWrt, and it may have improved over the years, but I found it kludgy.
ETA: Also to do IDS/IPS you’ll have to install Suricata, Snort or SoftEther anyways so…
Gaming with friends and family over Tailscale on my servers; it just works
Do you get a lot of latency with Tailscale?
Nope! We use it for Jellyfin too which also works great 😸
Cool. I just figured traversing a Tailscale VPN would be yet another ‘thing’ between you and your gaming partners.
Tailscale runs on Wiregaurd which is ridiculously fast. Also helps we’re located physically near each other on fiber from the same company so less network hops.
I’m no stranger to Tailscale, I just thought it would have been a bit slow for gaming.
Either way you’re just going over the internet. There will be overhead, but not enough to be that big a deal.
Wy would they? It is peer to perr
I get a good deal of satisfaction seeing my aliases of blocked connections.
Not really a guilty pleasure though.
Do you feel guilty if I’d asked you about that?Do you feel guilty if I’d asked you about that?
Yeah I probably would because I spend a lot of time watching it, blocking new threats and unwanted guests. My goal is to achieve the cleanest stream possible.
Good luck on achieving that.
You’ll be more successfull in whitelisting every possible connection instead ;)Spend some time (IMO too much) mysealf researching ASNs and publicly accessible blocklists of datacenters/crawlers.
Not an easy task.Edit: Grammar (lol)
Man, why you want to trample on my vision? LOL My default is ‘deny all until something complains, and address PRN.’ Some of my more productive lists are the Internet Storm set, a lot of Firebog lists, and some I’ve compiled myself. Tons of CIDR rejects, not a whole lot of passes.
No offense intended.
Like I mentioned earlier: I am doing that myself.Also have some of the firebog lists, spamhaus and my very own which I have recently started.
Currently also in the progress of doing my own ublock origin blocklist.
It’s all coming along pretty nicely!No offense intended.
Just pulling your strings man.
I got jebaited
…oh you kids and your slang!! (We had plenty too) I had to look it up. Going to have to try to work that into conversation. Thanks. I have a fascination with the etymology of words, phrases, and their history.
