      Over time I've disabled these rules. Does anyone see rules I perhaps should not have disabled and instead been more granular in my approach?

        Per other posts here, the Info and Policy categories are mostly informational and it's been recommended to not block those. (and if you don't, no need to load/use them hence no need to disable)

        We found long ago we had to disable all the "stream" entries because of a lot of false positives.

        Is "Disable hardware checksum offload" checked in System->Advanced->Networking? Having offloading on caused a lot of false positives also.

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

          Thanks. I selected to Disable hardware checksum offload. Are these the rulesets (categories) to deselect? Is there a set for STREAM?

          emerging-icmp_info.rules
          emerging-info.rules
          emerging-policy.rules

            @pfgate Not sure offhand what emerging-icmp_info.rules is. In most cases for our clients ICMP is not enabled through the router anyway so no need to look for that. I was referring to the other two.

            The other category is stream-events.rules.

              @pfgate Do you have any notes about the 2225006 smb SURICATA SMB file overlap rule? I just came across that event being triggered, and no idea what it means.

                  @michmoor Depends on the setup but often not.
