Internet Shield Firewall
Q7. What is firewall packet logging and how can I use it?
The packet log collects information about the IP network traffic. By default, the packet logging is turned off. You can turn the packet logging on if you have created your own set of firewall rules, and want to check how they block traffic. You can also do this if you suspect malicious network activity.
You can send the log file to our technical support for further analysis.
To open the product, double-click the product icon at the bottom right corner of your screen. To start logging:
- Click the Internet Shield tab.
- Click Advanced.
- Select Internet Shield > Logging.
- Use the recommended logging time and file size that are shown in the Logging time and Max log file size fields. You can also change them if you want to.
- Click Start Logging. A new file is added to the log files list. The size of the file increases as information is gathered in the file. If the list already contains 10 log files, the next log is gathered into an existing file.
- To stop the logging manually, click Stop Logging. The logging stops automatically after the defined logging time period has elapsed, or the defined maximum log file size has been reached.
