      how to block wifi dongle link text

      i use mac filtering form the captive portal to allow mac address but there is something that is connected to the internet even it is not in the mac address and i didn't allow that device that is the wifi dongle

      the wifi dongle they are using it to create hotspot from the PC's to connect to their mobile phone

      how can i block any device even router's and ap's and dongles to be connected from my internet

        @invoker Take a look at this topic: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/172358/how-to-restrict-wi-fi-sharing-via-mobile-hotspot/5

        There is one of the posts there that shows a rule that you can use in Suricata/or Snort to check the TTL of the packets and block accordingly.

        dead on arrival, nowhere to be found.
