      Is it possible to make a log only rule? i.e. a rule where I don't take decision on passing or blocking the traffic.

      The reason for this is that I use aliases extensively and my firewall rules are usually service based.
      Therefore logging a specific host temporary is not that trivial.

      Cheers / Thor

        If you use a floating rule you can choose 'match' instead of pass or block.

        Edit: This should probably be moved to a different section.
