      I read that Snort can run as an NIDS (network intrusion detection system) or run as an NIPS (network intrusion prevention system).  I am not clear about this.  Can Snort run both at the same time?  How do I determine which system I am running?

      pfSense 2.3.4-RELEASE-p1 (i386)
      FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE-p19
      pfBlockerNG 2.1.2_1
      Snort Security 3.2.9.5_3
      Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N270 @ 1.60GHz

        Best to ask over in the Packages-IDS/IPS subforum https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?board=61.0, dedicated to exactly those type of questions.
