      At this moment I have an extra protection for my WiFi network using a mac-filter on my Ethernet switch. It would be more elegant to implement that filter on pfSense.

      I am considering to create a wifi-vlan define that as an pfSense interface and do the following

      • create an alias containing all mac-addresses allowed to pass
      • create an ethernet rule tagging all allowed packages
      • defining a IP pfSence rule blocking all tagged packages

      I think that is the right direction, but I am not sure that we are all ready at a point that that is possible. The actual docs e.g. are saying that mac-aliases are not (yet) supported.

      Has anybody all ready experiences with mac-filtering?

      PS
      I am using the latest pfSense+ development release
