 @blackkep said in snort running to half stop many times a day: @fireodo After you update the rules also ? From time to time Snort exits on rules update (here) with signal 11 but it will continuing running normal. emerging-drop.rules Thanks. (not enabled here) 
- 
 @fireodo This bug has been around for a long time

 @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. 
- 
 @steveits  The DROP rule is still running ? The DROP rule is still running ?
- 
 @steveits pfblockerng DROP I see the original list 
- 
 @blackkep said in snort running to half stop many times a day: @steveits The DROP rule is still running ? 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. 
- 
 @steveits 
 snort restarted , snort has only one
- 
 @blackkep And did you restart your router? 
- 
 @steveits pfsense restart
