Title: Block private on WAN- How to stop logging?
Post by: chemlud on November 19, 2018, 09:44:09 am

Hello again!

Have a broadcast spammer with a private IP on my Wan address (with a public IP...) and would like to stop logging this, as it's flooding my firewall log.

Editing this rule is not possible in GUI, as you get redirected to the interface, where the only option is to turn on/off. Any other options from command line or editing the confing.xml? :-)

Many thanks in advance...

Hi chemlud,

In order to workaround this, I would disable the default rule and create manually a new one with the log checkbox disabled.

Hi 2fun, yeah thought about this option, too. But wanted to hear first if there's a "simple" option ;-)

There's "Log packets blocked by 'Block Private Networks' rules" under System: Settings: Logging? :)


Cheers,
Franco
