      How to make optimal configuration in snort to exclude SpeeedTest alerts?
      I just setup and configured Snort for package inspection and now I have a lot of alerts when I run SpeedTest from ookla on Raspberry Pi with IrfanDB and Grafana.
      When SpeedTest runs he "call" a great number of servers and all has its own upload and download alerts. For now I put all this alerts in Suppress section and the list is bigger and bigger. If I suppress the rule I will have a security issue. Is another way to solve this situation?

        @bavcon22 What are the alerts? I would not expect a speed test to trigger anything.

        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 reboot, or more depending on packages, CPU, and/or disk speed.

          @steveits I collect descriptions from suppress file:

          1. (http_inspect) PROTOCOL-OTHER HTTP server response before client 120:18
          2. (http_inspect) NO CONTENT-LENGTH OR TRANSFER-ENCODING IN HTTP RESPONSE 120:3
          3. (http_inspect) UNESCAPED SPACE IN HTTP URI 119:33
          4. (http_inspect) BARE BYTE UNICODE ENCODING 119:4
            All alerts has it's own GID:SID

          I know that alerts are from SpeedTest because I have done an extensive test.
