<![CDATA[Remotely enamble disable rule]]>Hi

I have a HA system in my house and a very small limited internet connection.  One thing I have enabled is rules that block the kids devices from the internet because they just don't get it.

Occasionally they need access for things such as homework.

What I want to do is be able to enable and disable rules remotely via the HA system.  Is there a way to do this at all - SNMP?

I know this may cause a security issue, but doing it from the web interface is not something that family members are cable of dealing with.  If I do it from the HA system I can put a password on the button to turn it back on to prevent the kids from doing it themselves

Mick

This post is four years old, and that user has not logged in since November 2017.

Even if you could flip the check box state via a GET request, I believe the change would still have to be applied to the firewall before becoming active.

You could write a PhantomJS script that would login to the Web GUI and make the change.

I had a thought last night.  In the firewall rules page there is the little enable button which is what I assume is a httpget request to the server. (could be a post request?)

Now if I take this link and paste the URL into the browser directly, I don't expect it to work because I am not logged in.

I tried adding http://user:pass@<pfsense>…... but that did not work either.

Does anyone know how I can get the url to toggle the rule from enable to disable to work directly from a httpget request directly.

Thanks
