    Go to Firewall->Schedules. Add a schedule for the days and times that you want to allow access. Add a rule at the top of the rules for the interface that allows (pass) all traffic, click "Display Advanced" at the bottom of the rule settings, choose the schedule. After the pass rule, put a block rule that blocks the traffic at all times. During the schedule period the pass will be in effect. Outside of the schedule, the pass rule will be disabled and the block rule will be in effect. If you have no other rules on the interface, then you can omit the block rule at step (3), if you like. The default action is to block anyway.

    With phil on this dns has nothing to do with ping at all..  When you say you can not ping IP, that points to you tried to ping the IP address, not resolve some name that never resolved.. I would want to do know what he is trying to use for dns in pfsense.  It default to using unbound that would actually try to resolve.. Did you change it to the forwarder?  You have a static IP on your wan that is rfc1918 and your asking it?  Do you have the block rfc1918 set? Your nat device in front of pfsense could be blocking dns to the authoritative servers which is what resolver does, your isp could be doing that, etc.

    Thanks, that's half the problem solved.  If someone could make a suggestion as to best practices for storing/backup/recovery of custom scripts that would be much appreciated.

My TV can't get internet connection though connects to router. My phone connects also fine. Can get internal connection to devices like nas etc. Can use ookla speed app fine but can't use Netflix on it you tube on it or browse with Safari. Can anyone help me with this and also explain it for someone that has no real idea of networking. I'm very willing to learn. Thank you for any help

    It would be nice to be able to run it on ARM devices if the hardware wasn't weak.

    @NOYB: Think you don't have anything to contribute to pfSense project?  Think again. Probably everybody that uses pfSense has some skill that can be used to contribute to the pfSense project. Here is just a very short list of examples.  Poke around and I sure you can find something you can contribute. JavaScript PHP HTML BASH Language (spelling, grammar, tech writing, help page docs, etc.) testing testing helping others on the forum asking intelligent questions. testing more testing

    Sounds like something snort could do. Not sure about other options.

    Shameless plug for Ubiquiti.  Just pulled the trigger on one 2xAP SOHO setup and now have done a few more - all using the AC Pro APs.  Also love their 'cloud key' product.  Spend ~$80 once and get Meraki-esque remote access plus the bonus of having a local controller.  If only I could get back the hours of my life I spent configuring Cisco APs.
