        Okay... that helps. So if you enable the Snort Subscriber Rules you get the error. I will try and reproduce in my test virtual machine.

            Well, it worked fine for me just now in a newly updated 2.7 snapshot virtual machine. That machine should be pretty much the same as a current 23.01 machine.

            Here is the output from the rules update run (I am in the US Eastern Time Zone):

            Here is the Snort Rules section of the GLOBAL SETTINGS tab:

            Do you have the same Snort Rules file configured? Are you using snortrules-snapshot-29200.tar.gz?

                  Very bad!!! Never use Snort 3 rules with Suricata. And never Snort 3 stuff on pfSense.

                  Change that to snortrules-snapshot-29200.tar.gz, and your problem will go away.

                  pfSense is not configured for Snort 3 stuff at all.. Snort on pfSense remains on the 2.9.x branch.

                  Look at this Help Text printed immediately under the line where you specify a Snort Rules file for download:

                  Enter the rules tarball filename (filename only, do not include the URL.)
                  Example: snortrules-snapshot-29151.tar.gz
                  DO NOT specify a Snort3 rules file! Snort3 rules are incompatible with Suricata and will break your installation!

                      You just got lucky. Snort 3 stuff is not supported on pfSense.

                          At least it was an easy fix 😁.

                            @bmeeks True! This happens when one is "new" to pfsense.
