Snort VRT free gone?

[dcol]

Hi all,
So I noticed that the VRT rules were not updating, so I went into the snort.org page and there is no more free registration? Figures the freebie would be gone when Cisco/Talos got their hands on it.

So are Snort VRT rules gone now? What is a good alternative without a paid subscription?

I did notice that there was a snort update, after I applied the update the snort VRT rules worked again.
