    I'm running pfBlockerNG 3.2.0_10 on pfSense Plus 24.03 on a Netgate 1100.

    I've tried to disable logging on the floating rules pfBlocker automatically sets up, but the next day every day logging has been re-enabled.

    I don't need the rule logging because what pfBlocker stops I can do nothing about; so knowing about it and having it log is of no value and uses unnecessary space and other resources on the 1100.

    How to I stop pfBlockerNG from re-enabling floating rule logging every day?

    Many thanks for your help.

      @Mission-Ghost Do you have the "Force Global IP Logging" checkbox ticked under the "IP Configuration" section of Firewall / pfBlockerNG / IP? If so, untick it.

        @tinfoilmatt Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, no, it's unchecked:

            Ah ah...that's a likely suspect; I just looked at this and didn't grok what I was seeing. I'll disable and report back.
