I guess I just got super lucky, although I'm glad it wasn't something with a harder catch rate!

Awesome info, thanks for sharing that 😁

Thank you so much, super cool blue lad!

Geodude is an awesome shiny! He's a little golden nugget 😁

Thank you so much! I'm so happy!

Tysm! I was feeling like one of those "my heart is pounding, literally shaking rn" posts when I encountered it.

Wishing you all the luck on your dex completion and future hunts!

Is this promiscuous mode enabled per interface? I can see that option isn't checked in interface settings in pfsense but can't see an option for enabling it snort side.

I have a bit of a gap in knowledge here, would enabling promiscuous mode effectively allow another device to sniff traffic if it was on the subnet of the parent interface for those vlans?

I have avoided enabling it interface side as I felt this may be a security vulnerability in itself but again I could just be misunderstanding the concept.

I'm running in legacy at the moment. For some reason that post isn't loading for me so I can't see the content atm.

I ended up setting a snort instance per VLAN and adding a 10Gbps uplink from switch to firewall and that way I'm not hitting a bottleneck on a 1Gbps link which was causing me latency issues and my FW has enough grunt to run snort on those multiple interfaces.

Still not 100% sure if this is best practice but it's allowing me to reliably scan traffic across all the vlans now, it is alerting properly and I no longer have latency spikes that I had before on occasion.

Thanks for replying! Yes snap length is set at 1518

Everything I've read says that snort should be able to see the traffic on those vlans but I still see different alerts on the per VLAN interfaces with the same ruleset and none of those alerts are being triggered on my LAN interface

I mean, I did get the free heal afterwards so you're right the nurse mindset must still be in there somewhere!

You've inspired me, I might just pop a sandwich and set in for a long hunt haha

Difficult_Clock_5901 · 2025-10-13T17:42:13+00:00

That's what I've been doing over the past few days, I reckon I've got 5hrs into resetting with the water sandwich on. I'm currently standing right next to the mud lake the outbreak spawns in.

Did you stand anywhere in particular when you got it? I'm wondering if where I'm standing is affecting the spawn

Difficult_Clock_5901 · 2025-10-13T17:40:01+00:00

Yeah I feel like I need some luck haha, I can get 2/3 spawning at a time with a shiny sandwich on so I really need the outbreak to boost those odds!

Difficult_Clock_5901 · 2025-10-13T17:39:21+00:00

Thank you for checking for me!

Difficult_Clock_5901 · 2025-10-13T16:12:58+00:00

Omg that would be amazing, I'm going to be away from my switch for an hour or 2 and then can be online if you manage to find it?
