  <p>But nothing else appears. The rules I currently have in the local.rules file is </p>
  
  <pre><code>alert icmp any any -&gt; any any (msg:"Testing ICMP alert"; sid:1000001;)
  alert udp any any -&gt; any any (msg:"Testing UDP alert"; sid:1000002;)
  alert tcp any any -&gt; any any (msg:"Testing TCP alert"; sid:1000003;)

  <p>I'm also currently using Windows 10 which didnt help because a lot of people who asked questions similar to this used VM. Would be grateful for some help.</p>
