Hello,

I do not have a computer science/technical background. I need an IPS/IDS to help protect a dedicated server that I rent to use to host a gaming server for a game I enjoy playing. The OS is Windows 10 Pro. I found a script here in the forums for simplifying Suricata installation process for Windows 10, but I was wondering if anyone knows of any GUI programs/software for Suricata to keep things simple and easy to use? I just would want to really be able to simplify Whitelisting my IP, and seeing what kinds of traffic has been blocked/prevented, and just basic graphs to visualize what it’s actually doing so I know it’s working properly.
