          @Sergei_Shablovsky there are ways to do rate limiting in pfSense e.g. https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/firewall/configure.html#maximum-number-of-established-connections-per-host

          Does Suricata have a rule for that?

          Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
          When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to reboot, or more depending on packages, and device or disk speed.
