      Hello just a littel heads up, im ferly new to Pfsense and I came a cross a error that dident make any sense for me.

      I installed PFsense and Snort, then i went in and configured it as decribed on the forums and it seemd to work just fine, got some "false posetive" as I were expecting due to a fear amont of warnings on the guides on the forum. So I dindt really give it much tought and went head on installing Squid, or tryed would be a more correct term, It kept halting for some reason. So I restarted the PFsense and gave it another try, still it were failing to manage to install Squid. Then i realised that Snort may take this as "threath", so I went on disabeling the WAN and LAN configuration on SNORT, gave Squid installation another go, and it all seems to work now. So just a heads up

        Nothing odd going on there. Snort's HTTP inspector will throw a lot of false positives, which was likely the case here too.

          Jeah the post were meant as an heads up, for new userts. That Snort mau cause some problems reguarding installing new packets later on, due to false posetives. And my own stupidety reaguarding me to sett Snort to block all "supicius" traffic  ;D
