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?

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.
