5.9.1 Security Log Settings
To view or change the firewall log settings:
1. Click the Settings button that appears at the top of the Firewall Log screen.
The Security Log Settings screen will appear (see figure 5.21).
2. Select the types of activities for which you would like to have a log mes-
sage generated:
• Accepted incoming connections: write a log message for each suc-
cessful attempt to establish an inbound connection to the local net-
work.
• Accepted outgoing connections: write a log message for each suc-
cessful attempt to establish an outgoing connection to the public
network.
• Blocked connection attempts: write a log message for each blocked
attempt to establish an inbound connection to the local network or
vice versa. You can enable logging of blocked packets of specific
types by disabling this option, and enabling some of the more spe-
cific options below it.
• Specify the blocked events that should be monitored. Use this to
monitor specific event such as synflood. A log message will be
generated if either the corresponding check-box is checked, or the
Blocked connection attempts check-box is checked.
• Remote administration attempts: write a log message for each remote-
administration connection attempt, whether successful or not.
