So maybe I will re-frame my original question. Not being a developer or other IT professional, what software package could be put together on say, a Raspberry Pi or other device, that could be a watchdog against invasion/intrusion of our home networks? Can it do as good or better than what an Akita claims? From a quick search I have found these links but maybe some expertise here could provide us with a good direction. Are commercial software developments in this sort of low-end price range likely to provide any more protection than what OS can provide? https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-psad-to-detect-n... http://opensourceforu.com/2017/04/best-open-source-network-intrusion-detecti...

do anything special that is not already available in linux software? Like permitting you to DoS yourself? ;->
