This is getting off-topic, but since you seem to be in Sweden I'd like to suggest you consider allowing people to at least tunnel out of your honeypot to somewhere else, if not just open it up. AFAIK the legal situation in your country still allows you to do that. Where I live my freedom to share my network connection has been taken away from me. I still run open wifi but it depends on a legal hack. IPv4 internet access used to just connect out but now it's tunnelled to a community-backed ISP which was founded for the purpose of working around legal restrictions. Being an ISP they have carrier status so the restrictions don't apply to them though who knows when that will change for the worse. IPv6 traffic goes across a community owned wifi mesh directly to that same ISP's BGP routers (AS44194) so it doesn't rely on infrastructure which can be easily censored. I'd like to see more use of OpenBSD for such purposes. However, it's clear there are many better options for running acess points right now. I travel a lot and use VPN to my home to keep up with life and data roaming is unnecessarily expensive. So I often depend on open wifi. What you're doing is a slap in the face to people like me. If you don't want to share your connection, fine, but please turn your honeypot off.
