Logging MacBook firewall is empty

Solution 1:

To get some logging from the Firewall you have to define some rules.

Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall, unlock it, and select Firewall Options and add some rules about application you want to block any access from the outside.

Ex. : Firewall settings

Once done, lock back the Security & Privacy preference menu.

Try any prohibited or allowed access and you will see it appear in /var/log/appfirewall.log.
