Macro/button/package to temporarily block access to internet
-
Hi,
Does anyone know of an easy way to setup a "button" or macro or some easy way to block the kids access to the internet on demand?
Also, I plan on setting up schedules for them to use the internet at specific times….
Thanks

White-listed MACs & static DHCP leases, firewall rule to block all IPs not on the static list, disabled rule ready to go to block the IPs used by the kids.

Easiest solution is on the interface tab (LAN for instance) you should have a pre-existing rule allowing internet, if you click the green arrow it will turn grey, indicating that rule is now "off" - essentially blocking interwebz for that interface.
**When I say "pre-existing" I mean to say a rule you created to allow internet traffic. Most people usually have something like * * * * * meaning allow everything. I don't think pfsense creates such an internet rule for you automatically, just anti-lockout rules.
