Allow only certain MAC addresses
-
Hi,
Does it exist options to allow only certain MAC addresses access to the internet? The DHCP lease allowance based on MAC addresses is too easy to circumvent ;-)
Thanks for tips on this.

Use the static ARP option at the DHCP config page along with deny unknown clients. I think it should prevent using other IP/MAC-combinations than listed in your mappings.

OK, but in this case do I HAVE to assign IP addresses too? I have left this field blank in my list for now.

Good question, I haven't tested that yet. You need it, you test it, you tell me ;D

Will do ;-)
.. especially if you tell me where I can find the dhcp mac config file from the ipcop box shell. I got locked out because I hadn't listed my web browser computer's nic before I checked the ARP box ;-D
I'm using the liveCD version and I assume I select 8 to get to the shell. Which text editor is supplied with pfsense and in which folder is this dhcp mac list xml file?

Sorry, a typo :-( Of course I meant 'the pfsense box shell'…
However I have located it ans solved the problem ;-)
