====== PFSense - Logs - Turn on logging for pfSense default blocks ======

There are some logs that can be turned on to see traffic blocked by rules set up by pfSense behind the scenes that you usually do not see.

Navigate to **Firewall -> Rules**.

  * Click the middle icon on the right side, to view the logs.
  * Click **Settings**. 

In **General Logging Options**:

  * In **Log firewall default blocks**:
    * Log packets matched from the default block rules in the ruleset: **Checked**.
    * Log packets matched from the default pass rules put in the ruleset:  **Checked**.

**NOTE:**  That will cause traffic that has been blocked to show up in the logs.

  * This includes IPv6 traffic, even though IPv6 Networking might have been disabled.
