      So if I am correct, by default pfsense comes with a default deny rule on the wan which is not shown on the WAN rules..  My system firewall log is always full of all the attempts that are blocked.  Is there a way to disable logging of this rule?  If I click on the log detail, it gives me @335 block drop in log quick all label "Default deny rule", but there is no way to get to and modify the rule.    I've looked at lots of posts and it's been mentioned that it can be done, but not how.

      Any pointers?

      tks.

        Create manually a "block all rule" and dont log it.

        We do what we must, because we can.

          I was looking for "ssh to a config file xxxx and edit it".  I always overlook the obvious….. Simple is better, I'll give it a go...

          THANK YOU!
