I am running the current version of OPNSense: 22.1.6

I am running Suricata 6.0.4_1

I went to the Snort website and obtained an OINK Code

I go to: Intrusion Detection ==>Administration==>Downloads

I enter the OINK code and Rules file (snortrules-snapshot-29151.tar.gz, 29190 is the latest and I have tried that too)

The Plug In is installed: os-intrusion-detection-content-snort-vrt (installed)

I attempt to download the rules, however I get the message "Not Installed" under the Last Updated heading

What am I missing?

Services: Intrusion Detection: Administration --> Download

. . . TOP: "Enable selected"

. . . BOTTOM: "Save"  &&  "Download & Update Rules"

I had to get used to clicking all of them in the correct sequence ...

H.t.h.


If you are using community subscription of snort then put "snort3-community-rules.tar.gz" in snort_vrt.rulesfile box, then click "Downloads & Update Rules". It takes time..
