Pfsense + Snort Pass List

Hello,

I am emailing to confirm whether this does the job as intended because the wording is quite confusing.

Ive reviewed the document below on the netgate website and the instructions seems fairly easy to implement. But why is it involving external net. Can you please explain to me the wording for this description below. (The part I circled)

I would like to confirm whether if I add IPs to this passlist, it will ignore/exclude this particular IP from blocking, to the interface specified.
