It’s completely free even the EDR and Threat Intel functionality. It blows my mind too. The only things that are not free are things like machine learning detection, ransomware and cloud (k8) protection and other enterprise stuff like SSO. Besides the prebuilt elastic rules (https://github.com/elastic/detection-rules) I implemented about 50 of custom rules for stuff like too many failed logins, unusual traffic flow (you can also send flows from your FW to Elastic), user account creation, network reconnaissance, unusual geo-ip location etc.

The stack is based on the „pfELK“ docker compose file (meaning it integrates automatically with Pfsense/OPNsense logs) that I further modified to automatically include the fleet server and threat intel agent and stuff: https://github.com/maof97/pfelk-docker

I don’t know how exotic hosting a SIEM and EDR (Elastic Security) solution for self hosting ist but I do that. Complete with custom alerts and all. Additionally I use Wazuh for vulnerability management and integrity monitoring on my assets. Also I run a SOAR-like script that enriches my alerts with other SIEM and external Threat Intel data.

Maybe offtopic but why don’t you use the Proxmox backup feature? For me it creates a weekly backup of all my VMs and LXC container and restoring is easy-peasy. You can also make use of the Proxmox Backup Server if you have one for offsite backups (or just copy the backup archives).

Also you may be interested in Uptime Kuma for easy uptime / health overview and alerting.

There are reasons for WiFi repeating instead of connecting to the same network. E.g if you have a device limit for the connections (e.g. on some cruise line internet plans) or the WiFi signal is too weak and you want to use your phone as range extension.
