      Hi,

      I want to export the configuration of the rules and use it as a template for other pfsense installations.

      How can i do that?

      Thanks.

        Did you ever find a way to do this?  I am looking for the same.

          There is no way to do this directly within the GUI.  You will instead have to export the config.xml firewall configuration file, open it in an XML editor and locate the section within the file that stores the Snort configuration, export that section, and then import that section into your template xml.
