I'm starting to look at setting up an IPS on my home lab firewall. I've narrowed it down to either pfSense with Snort or OPNsense with Suricata. I've read the docs for both, but I'm still unsure.
For a junior engineer like me, which one has a more straightforward process for tuning false positives? I'm thinking about things like whitelisting specific traffic for a game server or a custom web app. Is the learning curve for writing effective rules significantly different between the two?
