    Hi all,

    Is there any plan of including a time-based filter some time in the future?

        ok. I asked because at work, some people are only allowed to access the Internet during a particular time period.
        Anyone knows how this can be implemented?

            I'll try to implement it as soon as my other problems with pfSense are solved.
            One question though: will all the commands used to implement time-based filtering in monowall work for pfSense?

              You'll have to do some abstraction as pfSense uses different filters. Maybe it's easier to somehow cron the upload of a partitial Firewallrules backup and trigger a filter reload after that.

                hoba,

                I have good experience with Linux and cron.
                Can you point me to pages where I can learn more about how to implement that in pfSense?
                Where is the firewall rules file stored, …?
