      I am using pfsense for VPN connection. I blocked all my ports. I got a pass from https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 (All Service Ports) fro my VPN and WAN interfaces. With that said, is there any benefit from adding pfBlockerNG or snort/Suricata to my pfsense? Thanks in advance.

        @moussa854 pfBlockerNG could block a client from going to a compromised website, like from a phishing email. If you do install, use the devel version. It's so much easier than starting from scratch.
