        The logs are reset at boot time. It's done that way on purpose.

        If you want to keep the logs, you should setup a syslog server and direct them to a separate server where they can be kept indefinitely.

            a good one is:
            Syslog Watcher for Windows

            and you can read the logs in pfsense terminal with command: clog /var/log/…

            thanks
