    In attempts to troubleshoot the pfSense Dynamic DNS client, there is a checkbox to Enable Verbose logging, which I have now checked. I cannot find any Dynamic DNS log files in /var/log, so where are the log files for Dynamic DNS clients stored?

      @joshgreyz are they not just in the normal system log?

      I have never had need/want to increase the verbosity of that.. So I have never looked for them - but I do see those messages in the normal system log.

      I see other log entries in there as well for dyndns

        @johnpoz thanks for your response. I'm trying to find that information at the CLI -- any ideas?

          Like this?

          cat /var/log/system.log | grep dyndns
