Please help

Well, there is no package called suricata to be installed via pakfire.
You can see all packages with pakfire list (if the red color bother you add --no-colors)

If you go the the GUI, Firewall > Intrusion Prevention, enable system, enable on RED, Save.
Further down select a ruleset, select different rules, Apply.

On console, ps aux | grep suric will show suricata process running.

Kindly guide.
Thanks,

your DNS is not working since from the console you should be able to ping pakfire.ipfire.org

your pakfire is not working because dns is not working. Dns need correct system time, a working upstream connection and a DNSSec supporting upstream server configured on Network > Domain Name System.

Also you will not get suricata via pakfire because it is no Addon. It is always installed, but on arm it is not really usefull because it need much RAM and CPU power…
