    DHCP static entries it would be nice to be able to have a checkbox in DHCP Static Mappings to allow or bock WAN access rules based on ip or Mac address with one click right there. I have a little lot of iot stuff and cameras I like to block access to wan however it is currently a pain in the butt to create a static entry and then have to go and block it on the firewall if we just had a simple check box there to get automate the rule to block it I think would be very helpful.

      My best suggstions are :

      1:
      Create a dedicated IoT Lan/Vlan , and do the Internet Access , blockking there.

      2:
      Make your IoT "Internet Access" block rule, use an Alias for the matching source IP's.
      Then it's just a matter of adding the newly created IoT IP, to the Alias.

      I would recommend 1 , as you can do a Lan/Vlan wide block.
      And it doesn't matter if the IoT "thingy" pull's another DHCP IP by "mistake".
