      Hi everyone

      My preprocessor snort package is blocking WAN or OPT1 address few times a day.
      Blocked addresses tab is looking like this:

      3 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (http_inspect) DOUBLE DECODING ATTACK
      4 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx FTP Bad login
      5 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (spp_rpc_decode) Incomplete RPC segment
      6 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (ftp_telnet) FTP bounce attempt

      But I haven't that on "Alerts" tab, so I don't know how to suppress that alerts (what sid, src, dst etc.).
      I have loadbalancing rule in firewall. Mabye it's connected?
      What can I do?

      Best Regards
      Mateusz Blaszka

        What pfsense version are you running? If it's v.2 Beta, check Snort > Alerts tab if the "Default is On" option is ticked.

        you would not believe the view up here
