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.

  • Found it, little bit different though. `Log packets matched from the default pass rules put in the ruleset` – Wolf Mar 07 '21 at 10:18
