I thought of a weekly thread to post about what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you read.

So I decided to just try it. Maybe we find a format that works! It doesn't have to be me, feel free to create this post on Sunday if it's not up already.

Using PfBlockerNG?

It's a great piece of software, but I had a hell of a time blocking some countries for torrents.

A single IP in China was repeatedly downloading an Ubunto ISO, I think due to the various methods of peers finding each other, so in the end I had to create an additional alias to block outgoing traffic even though only I was only allowing specific other countries in.

Yup! PFBlockerNG. I thought the GeoIP thing from Maxmind was paid, since the setup asked for a license key. Nope, free. Just had to register.
