      I have no idea what's going on. I had to reboot pfSense…  :'(

            Thank you, I read those messages, but I can't find a reason for what's happening. I disabled SNORT and the problem persists.

            Maybe the culprit is pfBlocker? I haven't changed any rule by myself.

              Reboot the FW with all pfblocker rules disabled and restart SNort when it comes back online.

              Report back.

                I've just done the operations you advised, but pfBlocker seems no more able to create any rule on the WAN interface (SNORT is disabled, BTW).

                  Uninstall pfblocker and reboot. Does it do it again?

                    I uninstalled pfBlocker and rebooted. The firewall works fine.

                    If I reinstall pfBlocker all the settings are there (so, the uninstall process doesn't delete any preferences nor any list) and pfBlocker - again - can't create any firewall rule.
