      Hi,

      Ive been searching the web and pfsense forum but I cant find a answer to my question.

      How do I set a firewall rule to block Internet Access but not LAN.
      I want this computer to reach other lan clients but not the internet.

      cheers from sweden

        Traffic inside the same subnet, on a wired network, does not hit the firewall. It would be safe to add a block rule at the top of the list to disallow any traffic from that IP. It would not affect them reaching other hosts inside its own subnet.
