      @techpro2004 I see a bunch of noise in there, you got multicast.. that stuff to 239.255.255.251, I see some directed broadcast traffic to 192.168.1.255, I see something with a APIPA address 169.254.x.x sending to sending to SSDP/UPnP (port 1900)..

      Why do you have a bridge setup at all.. I don't use wireguard, but have tailscale setup and it doesn't have any bridge.. Not sure why you would bridge that - pretty sure WG is L3, bridging is at L2.. Not understanding why you would think you need a bridge?

        I saw some instructions online a while ago that said to do it. Plus, i use wireguard to access my lan from my cellphone on the go

          @techpro2004 Ultimately, logged blocks would be that pfSense is set to log the default block rule (the default setting), or log blocked bogons/RFC1918 (also default), or a rule is set to log the block. If you don't want the blocks logged you can turn those off. Or you can raise the max log file size so logs rotate less often. Or just ignore the sshguard notification.

          (or in 24.03 it logs IGMP blocks)

          Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
          When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

            Yeah that has nothing to do with a "bridge"

            Not sure what "guide" you followed but you wouldn't setup a bridge in any scenario that I can think of.. I use my tailscale to access stuff on multiple networks locally while I am out and about - no bridge setup..

                @techpro2004 OK, so, don't do that? You have options of "log less," or "let the log files grow so they rotate less frequently." Or ignore the notification.

                    on the subject of logging less, How do I figure out where the filter logs are from.

                      I removed the bridge and wireguard still works and I am getting a lot less entries in the filter log.

                        deleting the bridge seemed to help the sshguard messages also. thanks.

                          What do you mean its right there in the log who is sending the traffic.. For starters I would remove the bridge.. then you can filter on your interfaces where noise is coming in easier to not log it.

                          May 13 14:00:00 pfSense filterlog[7432]: 2,,,1000000101,ix0,match,block,in,4,0x0,,128,46560,0,none,17,udp,256,169.254.14.211,192.168.1.27,1900,60690,236

                          This is just pure noise.. You got something with APIPA address, ie didn't get a dhcp address? Sending SSDP to 192.168.1.27..

                          May 13 14:00:00 pfSense filterlog[7432]: 4,,,1000000103,bridge0,match,block,in,4,0x0,,1,48715,0,DF,17,udp,863,192.168.1.4,239.255.255.251,37810,37810,843

                          Also pure noise.. Multicast Discovery of DNS Services is that multicast address - why would you need that noise logged or going over you wireguard connection?
