It seems work well now. ::)
but still have a problem is that no package installed info. in "Packages->Installed Packages" list.
so how do I add it manaually? -
The snort package has been removed from pfSense. It is broken and it has no active developer working on it.

Is there a replacement for SNORT? Some other package for deep packet inspection that can be used for blocking P2P and other content based rules.
Thanks,

Not at the moment.

I wish I could maintain it (I'm too stupid). I only had 2 issues during the entire time I used it (6 months) and only 1 of those was what I would call broken (auto update). Scott, would a bounty for a maintainer work? I would be willing to fork some over for that.

Yes, it is recommended that you consider starting a bounty project for the package.
