I currently have two WAN connections we'll call them Primary and Backup.  I only use the Backup connection in the event the Primary is down since the Backup is metered LTE.  I've been using Suricata for however long I've been on OPNsense maybe a year now.  It's been just fine or so I thought.  Today I powered down the modem for my Primary connection temporarily for maintenance.  During that time (about 45 min) I got over 400 IPS/IDS alerts.  I do typically get maybe 1 or 2 alerts every week(ish). It looks to me like even though I only have a singular policy and both WAN interfaces selected it may only be monitoring my Backup connection.

Edit: Wanted to say these were all false positives from internal traffic traversing the external interfaces.  So I'm not worried about that, it just needs tuned.  However I worry this same traffic wasn't detected on the Primary interface makes me things it's broke or misconfigured somehow.

Anyone have any thoughts on what is going on?
