Button to turn off internet for a group of devices
-
Hey,
Apologies I am a total noob at pfSense, however I am switching over from an ISP router which allows me via an app on my phone to quickly turn off internet for a device/group of devices for example if a child hasn’t helped clean up after tea.
Is there anyway I can implement this kind of feature on my pfSense system, perhaps using the api via my home assistant panel or similar? Can I do this via a REST command? Hope I haven’t been too vague.
Thanks.

to quickly turn off internet
Login to pfSense.
Goto Firewall => Rules => LAN.
Click on the
symbol, and then the green Apply.so, 5 or 6 clicks ..... as pfSense uses a GUI.
You have to create a firewall rules that uses an alias as a source. The alias should contain the IP(s) to be block.
Enabling or disabling this rule will do what you want.Btw, I do recall that there are other ways to learn how to clean up after tea. I was a kid before ^^
( and there was no Internet during the vast majority of existence of mankind )
