Description

On 2.4.4.a.20180824.0955, install Suricata, visit Services > Suricata. Go to the Global Settings tab, enable some rulesets, go to the bottom uncheck Keep settings and click Save. Go to Interfaces tab and add an interface and click Save.

Then go to System > Packages and remove the Suricata package. Once removed, go to Available Packages and reinstall it.

Visit Services > Suricata and notice the Interface is still there, go to Global Settings and notice that the same rulesets are enabled, along with the Keep Settings checkbox being unchecked.

I found that the code to remove the package forgot to use 'write_config()' after removing the Suricata configurations. This should now work in the next update. 94e42115f911f6aec94de44cd52b2ebd99fbee40

Message from suricata-4.0.5:

===========================================================================

If you want to run Suricata in IDS mode, add to /etc/rc.conf:

    suricata_enable="YES" 
    suricata_interface="<if>" 

NOTE: Declaring suricata_interface is MANDATORY for Suricata in IDS Mode.

However, if you want to run Suricata in Inline IPS Mode in divert(4) mode,
add to /etc/rc.conf:

    suricata_enable="YES" 
    suricata_divertport="8000" 

NOTE:
    Suricata won't start in IDS mode without an interface configured.
    Therefore if you omit suricata_interface from rc.conf, FreeBSD's
    rc.d/suricata will automatically try to start Suricata in IPS Mode
    (on divert port 8000, by default).

Alternatively, if you want to run Suricata in Inline IPS Mode in high-speed
netmap(4) mode, add to /etc/rc.conf:

    suricata_enable="YES" 
    suricata_netmap="YES" 

NOTE:
    Suricata requires additional interface settings in the configuration
    file to run in netmap(4) mode.

RULES: Suricata IDS/IPS Engine comes without rules by default. You should
add rules by yourself and set an updating strategy. To do so, please visit:

 http://www.openinfosecfoundation.org/documentation/rules.html
 http://www.openinfosecfoundation.org/documentation/emerging-threats.html

You may want to try BPF in zerocopy mode to test performance improvements:

    sysctl -w net.bpf.zerocopy_enable=1

Don't forget to add net.bpf.zerocopy_enable=1 to /etc/sysctl.conf

>>> Cleaning up cache... done.
Success

Looks good.
