      Hi,

      Suricata goes mad and blocks my torrent traffic though p2p rule is not enabled.

      I have just these rules enabled:

      emerging-attack_response.rules
      emerging-botcc.portgrouped.rules
      emerging-botcc.rules
      emerging-ciarmy.rules
      emerging-compromised.rules
      emerging-current_events.rules
      emerging-dos.rules
      emerging-dshield.rules
      emerging-exploit.rules
      emerging-malware.rules
      emerging-mobile_malware.rules
      emerging-rbn-malvertisers.rules
      emerging-trojan.rules
      emerging-worm.rules

      There are a lot of alerts with description:

      SURICATA STREAM Packet with invalid timestamp

      SURICATA STREAM excessive retransmissions

      How to fix it ?

      What are recommended rule sets to not disturb p2p traffic and have safe LAN ?

      regards

        Go to the SYSTEM > ADVANCED menu in pfSense and then to the Networking tab.  Check the three checkboxes to Disable Hardware Checksum Offload, Disable Hardware TCP Segmentation Offloading and Disable Hardware Large Receive Offloading.

        If that does not stop the problem, then just disable those rules by clicking the red X beside the alert in the GID:SID column on the ALERTS tab.
