Hi all,

Thanks for all your help.

After a few workarounds I managed to get what I required.

I wrote  a script to get an easy to read report on all the traffic
matching the block rule in my pf. The script could be modified to get
reports on other specific rulesets you intend to, however, for that to
work you might have to define another logging interface using pflogd
and slap it to the rules you want to get reports on.

Here is it if you guys wanna have a look on.
