Thanks guys.  I will try setting EXTERNAL_NET to !$HOME_NET.

Alternately, if you have some reason for using "any" as EXTERNAL_NET, you can change the variable in the rule from 
EXTERNAL_NET to !$HOME_NET.  If you use PulledPork, place this in modifysid.conf :

2009702 "$EXTERNAL_NET" "!$HOME_NET"

However I imagine similar issue will come up in other rules.  Adam's solution is probably the best way to go.

Since your $EXTERNAL_NET is set to "any" 10.0.0.0/8<http://10.0.0.0/8> is included in that.  You'll probably want to 
set $EXTERNAL_NET to !$HOME_NET.

Hello,

I am having an interesting issue with the homenet.  I have it setup in snort.conf as follows:

ipvar HOME_NET [10.0.0.0/8<http://10.0.0.0/8>]

ipvar EXTERNAL_NET any

ipvar DNS_Servers [10.1.2.3,10.1.2.4]

Which we have subnetted into internal networks similar to 10.1.2.x, 10.2.3.x and so on.  However our VPN clients use 
10.1.20.x/24.

Whenever a VPN Client registers itself in DNS after connecting, I get an ET POLICY DNS Update From External net  (Gen 1 
Sig 2009702)

The rule triggers, for example, with a source of 10.10.20.10 and a destination of 10.1.2.3

I can suppress this, but am mostly wondering if anyone has any insight into why the VPN is not being considered part of 
HOMENET.

Thanks,
Sam
