hugoeyng

Hello.

How can I determine time ranges when a user can or cannot stay connected to the VPN?

noplan

hook me up on this one !
out of the blue:
time based firewall rule (allow traffic from --> to time) ?

See Dokumentation here

@noplan Thank You for the answer.
A time based firewall rule will cause effect over all users.
I would like to allow or not each user indvidually.

Hello,
For my kids, I gave static IP for their devices, created aliases and made a rule with a schedule.

Edit: I'm using VLAN (with DHCP server) and I'm talking about ISP VPN connection. Not pfsense as VPN server.

@hugoeyng
my suggestion a quick n dirty one

A)
use in openVPN

C)
put these assigned IP adresses into an alias

D)
create a firewall rule with this new alias

E)
use the information from the documetation in this post to schedule the rule
link here --> https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/firewall/firewall-rule-schedules.html

i will test it today, and keep u posted,
if anyone got a better idea lets share and improve
