      Hi again
      Snort was working good but today it stops blocking IPs even it show it on the alert tab . I already checked the "Checking this option will automatically block hosts that generate a snort alert." and it didn't help. I reinstall it and also didn't help. i remove the package and install it again . Same problem . Now what is that ??

          Hi
          I have the same Issue, but dont know why the IPS isnt working.
          It would be a nice feature to select different rules for each Instance of snort running on different Interfaces.

              There must be something in your configuration causing this anomaly, as I just installed Snort on a test system, scanned it remotely, and lost all access.

              From a machine on the LAN side of the test system, I confirmed that it generated an alert and was on the block list, and upon returning to the other system I still could not get access.

              Only after manually removing the block entry was I able to regain remote access to that system.

              It seems to work exactly as expected for me.
