I personally think it’s great that IPS and firewall are finally removed from NethServer.
Besides the fact that “buggy” lists simply blocked the whole server - can anyone explain to me why a IPS not being able to get a “list” blocks users needing to eg use a file server?
I am really looking forward for this to happen, and have less DNS errors in my networks and reporting…
And finally have correct CNAMES for any host and also correct working PTR (Reverse Lookups)…
After all, what use are nicely graphed statistics, if an Intrusion Prevention System can’t even correctly identify internal hosts?
I’m for a firewall and server, not an all-in-one yet not doing anything properly…
I’m OK with an OpenWRT “Module / Container” as firewall.
My 2 cents
