• Would like a look in to OPNsense, if you have the time 😊

• Can explain how it exactly detects penetration or attacks on the network? On a Linux server it scans SSH or http logs, but what does it scan on a firewall, firewalls don't usually have open ports to the internet.

• The crowdstrike plugin comes with a all zeroes payload

• Thanks but I would have like to have seen where do the CropwdSec rules end up? Are they like PFblocker and it a Wan rule with a large list of aliases? Also would have like to seen from the UI the options in the settings for it.

• Your "pfSense Plugin Documentation" link doesn't take me to the documentation.

• Crowd…oh Sec. Close one.

• Question, basically we need to reinstall the binaries on pfsense to update the version correct?

• I am sorry. I don't believe you're excited like you said in 00:35 by the look on your facial expression.

• I knew this video easy coming yet my brain still read "crowdS-" and I laughed nervously until reading ir right on the third try

• Is there any advantage to installing this if you're not hosting or making your network available to non-local devices?

• Thought this was CrowdStrike for a good minute.

• Happy to see this. In the interest of making the install as clean and simple as possible, I will watch for the package to arrive in the "Available" list, then take a look. I'm sure Tom will be covering this as well.

• Mainly watch you on The Homelab Show; not sure if it's the different background, or the hair, but you look a solid five years younger! Give either stylist a raise!

• How many thought he was talking about CrowdStrike LOL …

• If anyone has applied the suggestions from your friend, Tom Lawrence, then what value does crowdsec have for pfSense?. Tom recently suggested to not host many services on your pfSense box if you want to make it secure citing positives to use TailScale (thanks to Christian McDonald); in other words limit the number of holes within your pfSense firewall. I have taken his advice to hear and even stopped using OpenVPN. This video seems to more of a technical feat than stating any true value.

  The example to be dependent as a cloud only app has turned me away from thinking about using this.
  There are concerns that this app could impact pfBlockerNG as this package does a great job allow your pfSense application ignore ipAddresses based on regions.
  Lastly I would agree with people talking about Crowdstrike and its unfortunately events.

• Thank you

• I guess it is only relevant for business owners. I'm just a private user without servers or anything, just a regular linux user, private.

• I pass on anything with "crowd" in its name.

• we need to stop making our devices talking to i don't know which people server over the internet ! crowdsec services look great and useful but why can we not host the console ourself on our own server and just being able to retrieve the databases for know vulnerability from their servers ? is there any live scan going on ?

• Crowdsec >>> CrowdStrike …

• FINALLY.. it's here.. I was thissss close to switching to opnsense.. just for this plugin. Was beginning to feel like a stepchild on pfsense.

• Great video Jay, one quick question, does CrowdSec work well with other apps on Pfsense i.e. pfBlockerNG?

• CrowdS… (Vietnam flashbacks)

• You have some strange bots in the comment section.

• Why the F are there so many scam bots in early video comments ? It's really anoying

• Isn't CrowdSec expensive?
