Hi!

I have a standalone machine with the cable Internet connection. I am
running shorewall and I read a little about Snort. It is too paranoid to
install snort on the standalone computer?

Thanks in advance...

By my understanding of "standalone computer" is that it would not be
connected to the Internet (or any other network), so yes, I would say it is
paranoid.

On thing about intrusion detection software is that skilled intruders know
about them and can remove the evidence of the intrusion from the logs, etc.
specially on computers that are not connected to a log host.
