      Hi everybody,
      I want to test the ids feature and I run this command:

      sudo nmap -Pn -sS x.y.z.t

      I did not get any alert but when I run this command:

      sudo nmap -Pn -O -A x.y.z.t

      I could see an alert by my IP on the Services/Snort/Alerts!

      Why did not pfSense alert the simple syn-scan?

        Did you enable Port scan detection?

        General preprocessor settings section –> enable 'Portscan Detection'
