pfSense NAT & Aliases Reporting
Is pfSense able to generate a list of reports of the Aliases/NAT ports that are entered into the system?
pfSense does not natively generate reports that list Aliases or NAT ports in a report format (e.g., printable or exportable list). However, you can view and manage all Aliases and NAT rules directly through the web interface under:
- Firewall > Aliases
- Firewall > NAT
While there’s no built-in reporting module specifically for summarizing or exporting Aliases/NAT port usage, advanced users may:
- Export configuration files from Diagnostics > Backup & Restore and analyze the XML file.
- Use custom packages or external monitoring tools (like pfTop, ntopng, or syslog servers) to gain more insights.
- Use CLI commands via SSH or console access to parse firewall configuration.
⚠️ Important Note: For official reporting and logging features, we recommend using third-party tools or integrating pfSense with external logging/reporting platforms like ELK Stack, Graylog, or Splunk.
For users using pfSense as part of our managed services, please contact our support team if you require automated or customized reports on firewall rules or aliases.
