Firewall log spammed
-
This one message makes up 33% of my firewall log. I do have a block rule for all IPV6 traffic on my wan address and Log packets that are handled by this rule is unchecked.
How do I NOT log this firewall message?

A screenshot would be much easier to read. And what rule is blocking it - the default rule? You have firewall set to block all ipv6 in the advanced networking section, there is no check mark next to allow ipv6?
ff02::1 is multicast traffic to all nodes on the L2.

It seems like unchecking Log packets blocked by 'Block Bogon Networks' rules makes the log quieter.

there was a long time bug about this that seems to have been
https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/3494But it was rejected, turn off logging of bogon if you don't like the spam it seems is the correct course of action.
