      That will have to be done in your Wi-Fi router.

      DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

        Damn, but on the router by default options are very vague I would have to install a third party firmware (dd-wrt) to do this.
        More there is some method to create it?
        Not sé I created a group on aliases and to block there?

          No. Traffic from the WAN port of the Wi-Fi-router to other hosts on pfSense LAN will never go through pfSense.  Same-subnet traffic does not go through the router.

          Make two interfaces on pfSense.  Put the Wi-Fi on one and LAN on another.  Then you can filter as much or as little traffic between the subnets as you like.

            I think you're not understanding me right (excuse the rudeness) I think I'm expressing myself poorly.
            I will try to show how my network is configured:

            You see this here?

            My router is in "Computer Lab" that is behind the switch and is being regulated by pfsense, yet I could not block the router ip access (192.168.3.53) ips to the servers that are in the "Teacher" room ?

              It would have to be done in the access point or in the switch.  That traffic will never go to pfSense.

                More router gateway and the pfsense!
                So by logic all traffic on my network go through it right?
                Then I wanted to filter this traffic in that sé he comes addressed to the ip of the server it passes not understand?

                  No.  I guess I don't understand.  You don't seem to want to hear the correct answer based on your diagram.

                    But I think the router does not have this option!
                    Does utliziação third party firmware have this option? How dd-wrt or OpenWRT?
                    And you know the technical name for this?

                      No idea.  This isn't a dd-wrt forum.

                      I told you what to do.  Put it on separate interfaces on pfSense.

                        Ok, not prescisa be 'aggressive'. :P
                        How do I configure separate interfaces and only connect my router to it?

                          You might want to ask that basic question in the Portuguese/Brazilian forum.
