      I have a WAN rule called - Easy Rule: Passed from Firewall log view - says it was created by Easy Rule .

      Trying to figure out what it is -
      Protocol: IPv4 TCP
      Source: ISP IP addres
      Destination: 104.25.242.31
      Port: 80(HTTP)

      Destination IP is Carrier: cloudflare

      Confused?

        Yes it is, :-).
        did you add it this? with this? (https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/firewall/adding-rules-with-easyrule.html)

          It has a date from almost a year ago. Could have as I think that is when I was looking at snort but was having all sorts of issues so I disabled it all.

          So I probably don't need that rule - I won't do anything with it now but remove it later today.

            Do you use squidguard on your system? That was the next thing I was going to implement.

              I use HA proxy I think for my purposes more appropriate, Squid is problematic among MITM, so SquidGuard doesn't work for me either
              But I strongly recommend installing Suricata/Snort and pfblockerNG-devel

                Delete the rule for said http 80 port because it is unnecessary!
                I didn’t investigate all the way through, but it points to a Cloudflare CDN

                  Yeah snort and pfblocker are on my list. I played with these a while back but it broke many things and haven't got back to them.

                    Before you jumping into these IPS / IDS, DNSBL, etc. things, I highly recommend Bill Meeks (alias: bmeeks) posts Snort / ÍSuricata and BBcan177 on the topic of pfblockerng
