Enabling eBPF (Extended Berkeley Packet Filter) bypass is the ultimate step in Suricata performance tuning. It allows the kernel to filter known-safe traffic (e.g., TLS data) before the packets reach the resource-intensive Userspace engine. However, this functionality often fails to work out-of-the-box.
