      Hi,

      I want to block LAN userX to be able to access local LAN. Only succeeded blocking to WAN.
      I tried exactly in the way as on picture below:
      Plus:

      • putting same rules in floating rules
      • resetted state stables
        It doesn't work… UserX can still access (testcase) http-port 80 of the local network printer

        Your rules are ok, but networking details aren't

        Firewall helps you on border of network, where trafic is changing subnet. Inside LAN trafic is sent via MAC-addressess, and those guestions are done by clients/switches mainly.
        If you want to use pfsense to block this one user, then you should put pfsense between user and lan.
