(Sorry I can't get the refernces in the right place this time)

I too can't get snort to look at data on ppp0. (I am on Mac OS X)

I captured some of the traffic at the same time on tcpdump.
When I used the ethernet interface, I got some data captured by snort, as shown at the end.

-- I started snort:

[xxx-Computer:HenWen.app/Contents/macOS] tim% sudo ./snort -c ../Resources/snort.conf -i ppp0 -v
