      I have snort on my pfsense lan and wan interface.  I have rule to detect and drop vpn traffic and i can see the dropped traffic on the logs.

      part of the lan network is an ip towards a linux server serving as internet wifi portal. as this captive portal server (not pfsense captive portal) a part of the lan network of pfsense where snort is monitoring, I assume that any traffic going in and out of the portal ip address is still under the rules of snort on lan interface, right?

      therefore, if I block vpn traffic in the pfsense lan network, vpn traffic is also blocked in the wifi portal server and its dhcp clients, right?
