It would seem @ about line 104 in features.html
href="https://wiki.ipfire.org/configuration/services/ids"
would need to be changed to ...
href="https://wiki.ipfire.org/configuration/firewall/ips"
That would fix the button press.
And perhaps it would also seem reasonable to change the text references from "Detection" to "Prevention" and correspondingly change the acronym "IDS" to "IPS"

Thank you for noticing. The web-page text “Upon detection, alerts are raised and the attacker is immediately blocked” tends to hint of the legacy technique of blocking the attacker with Guardian. Nowadays the ‘attacker’ is not blocked, rather the offending packet(s) that raise alerts are ‘dropped’.

We will scan first, then detect something, and then log the packet and drop it. Guardian worked differently, but worked in the same way. The entire website is (hopefully) be replaced soon and the entire features page will go. To avoid investing too much time into this, I would like to leave it the way it is and hopefully we will do better with the next one. Sounds good. Thanks for all your dedicated efforts on this damn fine product. |
