PFsense Version: 2.7.2-RELEASE (amd64) built on Thu Dec 7 4:10:00 +08 2023
Snort Version: 4.1.6_17 (latest as there were no updates available)
I have been running Pfsense and it is very stable - no (or very little) issues with network disconnect or anything. However it seems that whenever I attempt to update Snort rules, there will be a short network disconnect. Sometime when I apply drop for the Snort rules, there will also be a short network disconnect. Tested with ping test and for a few seconds, it would disconnect.
I had checked the system logs and it seems like there is this:
/rc.newwanip: pfSense package system has detected an IP change or dynamic WAN reconnection - X -> X - Restarting packages.
The IP address on the system log is the same (X->X), so there was actually no IP change. My WAN IP address is also a static IP address and I have not changed the IP address.
Rules enabled:
Snort GPLv2 Community Rules (Talos certified)
Feodo Tracker Botnet C2 IP Rules
emerging-compromised.rules
emerging-current_events.rules
Anyone faced the same issue before?
Any help would greatly be appreciated.
