Block by MAC address
-
Hey, I searched around and cant believe i cannot find information how to do this, so i will just ask.
How do i block a connection on the firewall by MAC (hardware) address as opposed to blocking by IP address?
is it possible? must be!

Why must it be possible?
If you had searched the forums you'd have found this thread.

so,
http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?action=search keywords: "block Mac adresses"Is a circular query which brings me back to the same message, even if i spell "addresses" correctly.
I fail to see your point. A whole lot of not answering the question when you could just be straight.
The only way i found so far was to make dhcp assign an address specifically by mac address and then block pakcets based on that address which i force it to have. hardly ideal. -
The point is, if you've searched and found a number of threads where people are told that it can't be done then maybe it's because it can't be done.
Yes, using a static DHCP or static ARP and then blocking those IP ranges are your only options on pfSense. One option is to create a virtual IP and DHCP range just for those you want to block.
