>Maybe is suricata better? What are the difference?

I've never tried suricata so I cant say if its better, but snort works
pretty well. There is one problem with snort, however. It can watch incoming
traffic as well as outgoing traffic. 

But when snort watches outgoing traffic, it flags and blocks almost
everything. That's too much trouble for me, so I have snort setup to only
watch incoming traffic. 

Even then, you will have to watch the alert and blocked lists to make sure
it doesn't block sites you need. That doesn't happen too often, though. 

When it does happen, you just click to add those rules to the suppress list
and remove the ip addresses from the blocked list.
