      @Bronko:

      Ok, thanks for your 2.2.3 note, but the thread was hijacked  ;)

      My comment there was re: the original issue, multicast firewall log spam.

        The problem is still present on my pfsense setup in VM with 2.2.3 installed.
        Unchecked both log bogon networks block rule and private networks block rule.
        Also created a custom rule to block igmp on lan interface.
        No joy.

        EDIT: I fixed it by patching /etc/inc/filter_log.inc
        In function  conv_log_filter added the following lines in the foreach ($logarr as $logent) loop:

        if (strpos($logent,"igmp") !== false)
              continue;

        Crude, but does the job.

        Current network "hardware" :
        Running 2.2RC in Virtualbox 4.2.16.

        Retired:
        ALIX2C2 , 4 gigabyte disk cf card running 2.0 (official release).

          Thank you Bronko, Solved the problem for me too !

          After pulling my hair out wondering why my firewall logs where filled with 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255 port 4944 I stumbled on this post.

          I am on pfsense 2.3.4-RELEASE with pfblockerng installed, its been working pretty good for me but a few days ago I changed over from ADSL to VDSL and swapped the modem to a vigor 130, unticking the 'Broadcast DSL status to LAN' in the vigor settings fixed it.

          This broadcast to LAN is I believe used to keep a connection in a vigor router alive so the modem logs can be accessed inside the router.

          I access my modem by using the https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Accessing_modem_from_inside_firewall guide, its worked with every modem i have used but the vigor 130 is the first one thats filled the logs ! I still have the occasional IGMP showing up:

          MODEMACCESS 192.168.x.x 224.0.0.1 IGMP

          Not a problem yet as seems to be only when i have the modem Admin page open.
