Hi!

When you write your rules, you put "log" in them..


example:
pass in quick log proto tcp from any to any keep state


then you have to have pflogd started(pflog_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf).

When pflog is started your binary log is lcated on /var/log/pflog

you can read it witH:
tcpdump -n -t -r /var/log/pflog

if you want real time(because pflog is where is written with some delay)
tcpdump -n -t -i pflog0
