      Hi everyone,

      Is it possible to block a computername or MAC Address instead of IP Address?

        It is not possible to block by MAC address.

        Blocking by computer name, maybe, if you can resolve that computer name in DNS and use the hostname in an alias it might work, but would be fairly trivial to circumvent.
