but in either case, your snort logs will show only your sslproxy (hw/sw) as a
sourceip. you loose the info of the attacking host. right?

meaningful than work time. The desirability of both depends on how they are
realized. From the point of a view of a meaningful life, the entire
work/leisure duality must be abandoned. As long as we are living our work or
our leisure, we are not even truly living. Meaning cannot be found in work or
leisure but has to arise out of the nature of the activity itself. Out of
passion. Social value. Creativity."
