PFSense - Suricata - Create a custom HOME_NET

You have to first create a Pass List on the PASS LIST tab.

Then on the INTERFACE SETTINGS tab for the interface you want to set a custom HOME_NET for, choose the Pass List you created in the drop-down (the one that probably says “default” right now).


Create a Firewall Alias

Navigate to Firewall → Aliases.

  • Put all the remote networks and IP addresses (excepting locally-attached addresses on the firewall itself) that you want to be in HOME_NET in that alias.

TIP: Remember that on pfSense you can nest aliases (so you can put an alias in another alias).


Create a Suricata Passlist

Navigate to Services → Suricata → Pass Lists.

  • Click Add.
    • Name the list something with HOME_NET in it just to help you identify it in the future.
    • You probably want to leave all the defaults in the new list.
    • Aligned Alias: Type the the name of the alias created earlier.
  • Click Save.


Apply Passlist

Navigate to Services → Suricata → Interfaces.

  • Select the specific Interface you want to modify.

In Networks Suricata Should Inspect and Protect:

  • Pass List: Click the drop-down and select the Pass List you created earlier.
  • Click Save.
  • Restart Suricata on the interface.
