Raspberry Pi Firewall and Intrusion Detection System:

don't use Pi for security stuff, it has a backdoor on it. (hint: it's made in the uk and approved by gchq)

That's a fucking shame, Snooper's Charter was the reason I was thinking about actually ramping up my security and anonymity for once.

Any recommendations for an alternative?

it's a 10/100 nic on USB2, so realistically about 30mbps top. And that's assuming it'll be able to wirespeed that.
Bad idea man.

Any recommendations to keep it cheap?

>>57877506
you need to use something old like pic or stamp. most of the stuff made in 2005+ is filled with backdoors.

grab on old PC (max 5 years) and install pfSense
Make sure you grab the Snort, squid, and pfBlockerNG packages.
Way better system than a Pi.

Thank you, I'll look into it now. Those sneaky nation states, ruining as much tech as possible for their buddies.

>>57877567
yeah this is a good idea, get an old laptop or desktop instead. I'm also planning to purchase a few laptops for messing around with tails+tor.

I suggest buying more than one because they might break on you quickly if they're very used.
It's also a good idea to get a desktop with a floppy drive, they don't make em anymore.

I'll just boot DOS and enjoy my ASCII.

>>57877608
if you get a laptop, grab an expresscard riser and a nic, or get a cheap managed switch to handle VLANS for wan and internal interfaces

>>57877567
i'm doing this
except it's running arch linux
and i'm fucking paranoid that a linux box is facing the open internet just haven't bothered to set up pfsense--too limited.

Bump to keep this interesting discussion alive.

You God send, thank you!

Don't worry about it. The state doesn't actually give a fuck about the furry porn you watch.

>>57878468
Not why I need it, don't you know what the British government are doing to our rights in the United Kingdom, anon?

>>57877438
For deep packet inspection you need pretty fast hardware. I can imagine raspberry pi is not powerful enough and will slow your speeds and pings

>>57878520
So go more with >>57878355's suggestion, anon?

>>57877698
Why are you worried about linux on the internet?
Just set up a firewall and disable ssh or use fail2ban.
