      Alright, this is getting stupid now. The feature doesn't exist in pfSense and he has the only workaround. The end.

        @chpalmer very true... I have never seen it used in any enterprise we have ever supported..

        In a mom and pop shop, you click the eazy rule... And then 15 min later or 1 hour later you delete the rule... How freaking hard is that?? I mean really?

            Suture yourself.
            Some other software firewall (opensense) WILL include it and then they'll have just one more reason not to use pfsense.
            Juuuuuuust sayin.

            Not everyone who uses pfsense in necessarily is an environment that pure enterprise. I got no dog in this fight. Just pointing something out. You guys are Sooooooo sensitive to suggestions. lol

              Yeah they will be leaving in droves flocking to that feature that zero people need ;)

              Still waiting for the screenshot where you do this in watchguard, which you said it does... I placed my bet on the rep that says it doesn't..

              You are more than welcome to code that up since its so easy, and submit the PR...

                    If they do allow it - it sure not in their create policy documentation that is for sure ;) Why should we have to wait for his rep? You are sure they do it - so you don't have access to a watchguard that you can take a screenshot showing it?

                        I must admit that I am impressed with how quickly you can manage to piss off senior members here. Frankly, nobody really cares if Watchguard has that feature or not since it's moot. pfSense doesn't have it, so if that feature is critical to you then I guess you will be using a Watchguard and have no more need of pfSense.

                            I just got sent this. Rep said "Its done under schedules" Looks familiar. You guys can run through these pages if you want. Im not.

                              I don't think any one is opposed to adding such a feature - if there was actual call for it.. Never seen such a request before that I recall... So its not like the users of pfsense are beating the drums demanding this pretty much useless feature..

                              If you want it - then code it... Or your more than welcome to switch over to something that does it.. Like this watchguard.. Yeah last time I checked their pricing was right in line with pfsense being FREE ;)

                              edit: Well clearly your not from what he posted, you do it via schedules - just like you do on pfsense, just like you can do on juniper SRX, etc. etc.

                                @HansSolo Why do you keep saying that? It's not my rep and I have no knowledge of Watchguards.

                                  Honestly????
                                  YOU GUYS SHOULD THANK ME FOR THE SUGGESTIONS AND CRITICISM.

                                  You're right...most sheeple won't say a word.

                                  Is technical support free?

                                  pfsense is pretty darn good. I've said that a NUMBER of times. For the price, HELL YEAH!!!! But products THRIVE (or die) on consumer criticism and feedback and the response they make to it.

                                  A wise development board NEVER tells a consumer with a suggestion or complaint to F - off.

                                        The converse, of course, is that a wise user doesn't come into the forums and immediately start negging the product. If you would have just asked your question without implying that pfSense sucks because it doesn't do this thing that every other firewall in the world does (but not really), and it's soooooo disappointing, you would have avoided all this heat.

                                        BTW part 2, no "story" changed. It was chpalmer that said he talked to his rep so I'm not sure what you're going on about. Look at the damned thread.

                                        Actually, I'm done. Done here and done with you.

                                            The only reason we have a Watchguard "rep" is because of small number of sites where we inherited the customer from an over zealous salesman. They are almost all replaced now. Just one more site. :)
