      Good Day Sir, I'm using PFSense v 2.0.3 and is it possible that I can block a certain IP from accessing a certain site?

      example 192.168.10.1 with 255.255.255.0

      he/she can't access a site like

      facebook or youtube?

      thank you

        A few ways you can do this.

        If its a Windows PC, you can edit the hosts and lmhosts file on the windows pc itself.

        If thats not desirable here are some links which might also be relevant.

        This post in particular is probably the easiest

        which is also the same as this link.

            Well you can add any block rule you like, so just create a block rule on the lan from any source to a destination ip address, then any pc on the lan which tries to go to the ip address will get blocked.
