      James,

      I am now running  pfsense: 1.2.3-RELEASE    and Snort 2.8.5.3 pkg v. 1.21

      The whitelist do not seems to be working, also the CIDR notation also.

      The snort keep blocking the IP that I whitelist, could you please check.

      Regards,

      Davec

        Running into the same problem here, is there anything that can be done?  I can't turn on my blocking without this…

          Dear jaysonr,

          So far, there are the 2 issues i noticed.

          In the old Snort, you can just place an ipaddress such as 123.123.123.123. Now we need to insert something like 123.123.123.123/30. Correct me if i am wrong.

          Also in the Categories, quite a number of Categories has issues,

          Not success with these rules to enable Snort
          emerging-dos.rules
          emerging-drop.rules
          emerging-malware.rules
          emerging-virus.rules

          Success with these rules to enable Snort
          emerging-rbn.rules
          emerging-tor.rules

          snort_dos.rules

            I've been using the CIDR notation, even tried with & without, seems to basically just ignore what I put in the whitelist.

            I'm going to try to edit the Threshold file to ignore my IP:

            suppress gen_id 0, sig_id 0, track by_src, ip {my_ip}

            I'll post my results

            EDIT:
            Checked the logs today, looks like that made the difference.  I can turn back on my blocking now!
