  • 772

I've just installed pfSense and noticed that it only log "blocked" traffic.

How do I enable "allowed/permitted" traffic as well?

    The manual page you refer to links directly to the log settings manual: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/monitoring/logs/settings.html#monitor-log-settings

    In the GUI, the Settings tab under Status > System Logs controls how the logging system behaves.

    Log Packets from Default Pass Rules

    Unchecked by default. When set, logging will occur for packets matching the default pass out rules on interfaces. Setting this option will generate a large amount of log data for connections outbound from the firewall. The best practice is to only enable this for brief periods of time while performing troubleshooting or diagnostics.
