      Hello,

      It's possible to make a firewall rule allowing everything based on MAC-Address ?
      Example: youtube website is blocked, but not blocked on my personal computer.
      This question dont work based on IP, for security matters.

        The easiest way to do it is by IP address… but then create ipfw rules that make sure machines (MAC addresses) do not use privileged addresses.

        See this thread https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=71198.0 for an explanation of how I do it.

          Thanks!
          I'm going to read the post and check if I can end up with something that works that way.

            If you're happy forcing all addresses to be statically assigned, you can switch that flag on the DHCP page. The other option is to try to get Arpwatch (package) working - but I've never had much luck with it.,
