Comming from pfSense, I have troubles to get the IDS got working.

I have not get any alerts on the WAN, some few on the LAN. Tried several different pattern matcher, promisc / non promisc, policies and rule enablements, but there are no or only a few alters in the log.

Also the EICAR test was not successful. No alert nor blocking.

 

I also have never seen any alerts no matter how I configure the system, Suricata alone on a test install or with other plugins.

Does anyone using IDS/IPS actually have it working properly showing alerts? Does anyone actually use IDS/IPS on OPNsense?

I wound up installing an IPFire system on the edge before the OPNsense system and Suricata is working just fine on that system.

did you put your IP address in home network box in advanced settings on the administration page
