Snort not working?
-
What interface is it running on?
-
-
Can you give a bit of info about your network setup? (asci/paint diagram would be nice)
-
Not to be difficult, but what does that have to do with snort picking up things from the internet?

If you have something before the pfsense, sometimes the modems associated with dsl/cable have firewalls naturally enabled on them.

Just the same Moto 6120 I've been running previously.

I have the same issue… I may just build the damn thing by hand... it seems that it doesn't pick up EXTERNAL and INTERNAL net...

So, I went to GRC and did a port scan on my ip. Still nothing from Snort. I'm beginning to wonder if it's even running.
What can I look at in order to tell if things are working correctly?

when snort starts up, it fills the whole systemlog with messages. The last ones should be like this:
snort[62829]: Snort initialization completed successfully (pid=62829) Mar 25 00:02:18 snort[62829]: Snort initialization completed successfully (pid=62829) Mar 25 00:02:18 snort[62829]: --== Initialization Complete ==-- Mar 25 00:02:18 snort[62829]: --== Initialization Complete ==-- -
Yeah, it turned out I had to turn on the preprocessors.
BTW, it lists an option for collecting performance statistics, but I couldn't find where they're collected. Any ideas?
