As #[1] noted [1] looks like Snort got banned in China, others could follow. For Android we have several alternative via a direct apk download, but for desktop? Why don't offer a Snort/Iris/Hamstr/etc prebuild packaged version for a self sovereign local setup? It is quite easy to run: simply install "Web Server for Chrome" extension and point to the prebuild directory. Not a one-click operation, but not impossible with a little guidance either.

I suppose that with Electron could be quite easy and automatic to create cross platform installable packages, perhaps even with an auto update feature.

Let's enpower free speech worldwide!
