No-cloud security
“Cloud” isn’t evil. Mandating it for a home lab decoy is unnecessary.
What you give up with always-cloud
- Another account, another bill, another outage mode
- Metadata about your network events living on a vendor timeline
- Tools that stop working when the subscription does
What local control feels like
Pride. Your SD card holds the story. Your LAN UI is the cockpit. Alerts, if any, follow paths you chose. HoneyBox is built for that posture: standalone ESP32 honeypot, companion PWA on the LAN, zero requirement to phone home.
Privacy as product
