      Is there any way that pfSense 2.1 logs to a central logging server using daemons like syslog-ng or msyslog? Thanks!

          See Status -> System Logs and click on the Settings tab.

            @doctornotor and @wallabybob: Thanks a zillion to both of you!

            I guess the logs are transmitted in readable format. How can I encrypt the logs while being transmitted to the remote logging server in pfSense? I know of stunnel in command line, but how do I do in pfSense GUI?

              Setup a VPN tunnel between you and the logging server.

              The current syslog daemon doesn't support encrypted transport.

                @jimp: Do you mean OpenVPN/IPSec/tinc tunnel or stunnel which I saw as a package? Which is the preferred option?

                  Anything that will encrypt from point A to point B. pick your poison.
