How to block IPs per computer
-
I have two computers connect to a switch, the switch then connects to an external controller that is running pfSense. pfSense is also running pfBlockerNG. What I want to do is block access to some IPs from one of the computers only. Any way of doing this with pfSense or pfBlockerNG? Thanks

Add a new alias in Firwall > Aliases > IP and add all the IPs you want to block to it.
Add a firewall rule to the top of the list on LAN or the interface the concerned computer is connected to, select Action = block, protocol = any, source the computer you want to restrict access, destination = the alias name you've created first. -
Thanks. I like to use pdBlockerNG to centralize my blocking endeavors and I think I can see how to do this there per your instructions.

I needed to do actually opposite - allow some IPs thru pfBlockerNG.
And do this I've added IPs alias to enabled Custom Source via Firewall/pfBlockerNG/IP/GeoIP/EuropeYou can play with this to block IPs as well I am assuming …
