I would recommend to walk through our [post installation guide](https://docs.crowdsec.net/u/getting_started/post_installation/acquisition) which outlines how to check the acquisition.

On the other hand what services are you exposing to the internet?

follow the post installation guide and everything appears to be running and installed as it should. i just have a home network not exposing or running services.

Then if you don’t run exposed services then it safe to presume that you will see little to no alerts as CrowdSec defends exposed workloads to the internet.
