      Hello all,

      I've recently setup snort on my pfSense which is inspecting traffic in a transparent bridge (WAN & LAN) and was wondering if there's a way to setup snort to only block inbound initiated traffic (ofc, given the alert applies).
      In short, I don't it block suspicious destinations of my network's outbound traffic. (fyi: my public WAN IP is in the "pass list" and is not about that)

      Thanks in advance!

        The only way to accomplish that would be to rewrite all the rules and reverse the direction logic. That's a lot of work.
