Hi turnbui,

If you do not require to view the traffic in realtime, you can use the pfSense feature "Packet Capture" to capture the traffic on the WAN interface. Afterwards you need to download the capture file to your computer and open it in Wireshark. "Packet Capture" is located on the diagnostics menu.

Wonderful. That'll do it for me.
Thank you for this good news vindenesen and taking time to explain it.
Nice one.
