        i am newbie of pfsense too. version using now is pfsense 1.2release.
        i had block internet through LAN and it quite ok at the beginning. but in this few days i found ppl using internet whn the internet block was active.
        funny thing is i cant ping or tracert but it can go online to any website.
        wat can i do to solve this?

          Make sure the client still has the same IP that it had when you added the block.

          Another option to block Clients at LAN is enabling the captive portal btw. You can whitelist clients that don't need authentication either by IP or macadress this way. All other clients will be caught by the captive portal page, so you could even temporarily log them in by entering a username and password if you need it for installing an upgrade for example.

              Maybe you only have blocked protocol ICMP in your rule?

                  Could you show a screenshot of your rules?

                      Can you please retest with the schedules for this rule disabled? Does it work then? Though I have to admit that I don't fully understand that rule atm  ;)

                      Also is that destination a single IP or a complete subnet? It has no subnetmask and the IP itself is a network IP, not a host IP.
