      Good evening and Hello to all. Thank you for taking the time to ready my post. Your expertise is greatly appreciated and valued.

      New to pfSenee, this is my first build. (system info screenshot attached)

      Installed Snort package 3.2.9.2_16. I enabled VRT Rules, GPLv2, Emerging Threats, OpenAppID Detectors, OpenAppID Rules. I'm able to download rules for each except VRT Rules. (screenshot attached)

      Log has the following error:

      **Starting rules update…  Time: 2017-02-13 22:19:43
      Downloading Snort VRT rules md5 file snortrules-snapshot-2983.tar.gz.md5...
      Snort VRT rules md5 download failed.
      Server returned error code 505.
      Server error message was: 505 HTTP Version Not Supported[[/color]

      I've scoured the interwebs and fount many solutions, but none that have worked for me. I've tried the following thus far:

      • Rebooted.
      • I've uninstalled, rebooted, and reinstalled, rebooted.
      • Increased the size of /tmp Ram Disk and /var Ram Disk size to 512mb.
      • Regenerated my Oink code.
      • Waited few days and tried again.
      • I browsed the file system in an attempt to find and edit the update URL but was unable to find the line of code to edit.

      Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

      Thank you

        Uninstall package. Then:

        rm -rf /usr/local/etc/snort
        rm -rf /usr/local/lib/snort_dynamicrules
        rm /var/cache/pkg/snort

        Reinstall package. Generate new oink code. Follow snort install doc if needed.
