      Hi Guys,
      Just a general question here. I have a small office where I want to check what PCs inside my network made an outbound Windows RDP connection. Or is there a package that enables me to do this.

      Cheers

        The state table gives you information about active connections.
        Go to Diagnostics > States to view them. You can select a specific interface where the PCs are connected to and enter a filter expression, e.g. ":3389" for the default RDP port.

        If you also want to see the history add a pass rule to the respective for destination port 3389 or whatever and enable the logging.
        Then you can look for connections in Status > System Logs > Firewall.
