      Hi!

      Is it possible to add pass rule by MAC address? I can set rule by IP address but I cannot find option to add rule by MAC address.

      Thanks!

        Why? Captive Portal has "pass by MAC address" - will that do?

          I have a specific machine coming out from LAN and connecting to my external IP address.
          I have 2 other outside machines restricted by IP to connect to same port… Now I have to
          allow my internal machine and only way I can do it is to add rule by MAC...
          Problem is, that I cannot modify how this application connects to my internal IP... Inside my LAN I have to enter
          my outside IP unfortunatly...

            You have to do that by IP, need a DHCP reservation on that MAC if you're going to use DHCP on it.
