You don't.

Snort is an IDS. It automatically detects script kids, DDOS, POD etc and tells
Pfsense to block them. An IDS is far superior than any Windows firewall.

Its part of a larger conversation about running a commercial-grade firewall at
home to stop this and other crap at the source, so you are not trying to 
retrofit Internet security into silly hobby software never designed for such.
