      @P3R:

      What do you do when one of your users engage in more serious criminality and you ARE required by a court order to identify them?

      IF I get a court order I will comply.

        How if you have no idea what customer is on what IP address?

        I'm not saying not knowing is a bad thing, but I like to know what's going on with my networks.

        Knowing what's going on and keeping logs longer than necessary for troubleshooting are two different issues.  ;)

        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

          @almabes:

          Ok…what if you wrote a PASS rule on your LAN interface for TCP traffic destined for any IP on ports 6881-6999 and set it to log.  Maybe that will help identify them.

          This sounds like a workable solution which is likely to find the majority of the clients I'm looking for.  Unfortunately I know no more about writing these rules than I so about snort.  But this sounds like something I can research and learn…

          Pfsense is versatile and powerful.  Even though I've used it for 5 years I feel like I only have a minimum knowledge and consider myself fortunate to be able to get it to do what I need.  Now that I need it to do more, I'll have to learn more. And that's a good thing.
