There were requests by people about this 3 1/2 years ago on here asking Peplink to make the firewall logging more useful. Link Somebody mentioned back then about adding the firewall rules name to the log and even said that it was requested I guess way back in 2016. 8 years ago now!!! I’m generally a very patient person with things, but this is beyond ridiculous that the logging system has been left untouched for this long.
I learned a long time ago when I first got into networking and firewalls 20+ years ago, that one of the most useful tools there was when you had an issue with something and you had to try and troubleshoot and figure it out came from the firewall logs. An easily readable logging system makes all the difference when your trying to look behind the scenes to see whats going on. The current state of Peplinks logging however makes this very difficult to do.
In the short time that I’ve used Peplinks products I would say the logging system has been one of the biggest disappointments to me. It’s such an important part of any router/firewall IMO. I really wish Peplink would see the value in it more and put a lot more attention and time into it to really improve it. It would only elevate their routers/firewall that much more if they did.
