          There is a rule to turn off snort can be normal

          Might have to wait until the next update to enable this rule

                    @blackkep If you want an alternative for DROP, you can use pfBlocker and pick DROP from its feed list. Then create a regular firewall block rule via the feed set as Alias Native, or have it create the rule via Deny.

                    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.

                          Not sure I understand the question…if you are using pfBlocker you can disable the category in Snort. No need to scan twice.

                            @steveits It is very strange that snort has canceled the DROP rule and is still running

                              @blackkep Did you restart Snort in that interface to pick up the new settings? Check if multiple Snort processes are running and if so end them or restart your router.
