    This may or may not help you with your situation but I found it to be a
    considerable step up from setting these options in the kernel:

    As of 5.3 (or perhaps earlier - I first noticed it in 5.3) you can
    edit net.inet.ip.fw.verbose and net.inet.ip.fw.verbose_limit via
    sysctl. Perhaps you'll have some luck fiddling with the value of
    net.inet.ip.fw.verbose_limit.

    Hope that helps.
