      Hello im a little bit of curious and i have found out that some of the employees are using wifi kill , internet is really getting slow , does pfsense can block this? any suggestion?

      a brief description on wifi kill

      DESCRIPTION
      Well, with this app you can disable internet connection for a device on the same network. So if someone (anyone) is abusing the internet wasting precious bandwidth for a Justin Bieber videoclips you could just kill their connection and stay happy with a full bandwidth just for yourself.

        This is arp spoof attack.. No you can not prevent such a thing on pfsense.  Other than setting a static arp on your clients for your router IP.  If client arps for 192.168.1.1 say your router, and someone answers back and says hey I am 192.168.1.1 vs the real router.  How does router stop such a thing on the lan or wifi network??

        Pfsense has no control over traffic going on between lan members it is a router, ie a gateway off a specific lan.. It doesn't control what the members of the lan do.. Think of it a bouncer in and out of a club.. Does the door man control what happens in the club, does he control what happens out in the world?  No he controls access in and out of the club..

        An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools

          Nice, that is a perfect description.

          Did you really check your cables?

            Enable client isolation on access point.
