So if this "Onion" thingy is some sort of IDS, you would IMHO need to make sure, traffic passes through it. Enforce that by topology.
E.g.
Internet Router --- one interface --- Onion --- second interface --- switch --> all your other devices.
Then with the bridging setup I suggested and the Onion bridging, too, you will see all the traffic. If the decice is connected via only one "leg" there is no reason for it to receive everything in the first place unless the switch copies every frame and forwards it to the monitor port.
But this is not FreeNAS specific but how IP and Ethernet work ...
HTH now,

P.S. in the above setup it will still not catch traffic from one of your internal devices to another one. Only frames that go out or come in via your router.
