      Hi, is there a way to use the pfsense to monitor all separate subnet / vlan traffic when connected either in front of or behind a unifi dream machine pro?

      Thanks in advance

        @rfinch23 I use Pfsense CE (free) with IBM Qradar CE (free). I can even tracked the apps that intruders used.

          @akegec hi thank you for the info, can you please advise on the following.
          Is the pfsense in front or behind the unif?
          I have five subnet ranges, manage this is the default lan, smartnet vlan 1, camnet vlan2, users vlan 3 and guests. How would this be configured on the pfsense . Would it be one port/interface for each one connected to the switch stack or one with the vlans configured on the pfsense.

          Sorry a bit of a novice at this..

              Thank you for the link, however sadly it does not cover the questions that were asked and only covers a basic network setup and the most useful add-ons to install. I know putting the pfsense in front of the UDM Pro would be the easiest thing to do however would this not log all traffic shown as coming from the WAN interface IP address of the UDM Pro? This is not what I want to achieve as I want to monitor all traffic from all internal Vlans showing the original devices IP address. In and out?

              Sorry if I did not make it clear.
