Restricting internet access by IP and time range
-
@KOM:
Please post a screenshot of your block rule as I requested previously.
i posted the block rule in reply#10 been reading and reading trying this and that but i can get the basic block to work.
-
The rule you have in #10 should block all traffic from 192.168.1.0/24 into the LAN interface (and out to the internet).
If it is not doing so, then LAN net is not 192.168.1.0/24
Post Status > Interfaces
At least the LAN interface.
-
so i should put the IP i'm trying to block in the Destination field instead of Source? i tried that also and reset the states but my test device was still getting to the internet

Sorry, don't know how I missed that :P

No, you want to use the client IP you're testing with as the Source. Please post your interface details as Derelict requested. Once we see what we're working with, it will take away a lot of the guesswork.

attached are the interfaces

OK, at least now we know your LAN really is 192.168.1.0/24. I assume your test client is 192.168.1.112? Edit your block rule to make the Source a Single host or alias, save it, clear the states and try again.
-
i used "Network" instead of "Single host or alias" because network gave me an option to change the subnet with "Single host or alias" its greyed out and wouldnt let me change it.
trying now..
edit: attached the new rule
-
still had internet after restarting the states… so i rebooted the firebox and the test device (iPhone) but still had internet.
-
No %&&^&^ idea what you've done.
Reset to factory and start over. Start simple. One thing at a time. Test. Move on.
-
Verify that your test client is really at 192.168.1.112? Your LAN rule should block all traffic from that IP address.
-
its crazy.. so after testing last night i disabled the rule and played some xbox live..
then sometime this morning around 5am or so all internet was blocked..
so I deleted the rule rebooted and everything came back. -

it is.. its not static tho but its the IP currently leased..
-
OK then, as long as you have cleared any established states from that IP address, it shouldn't be able to talk at all. Are you sure it isn't flipping to cellular?

no i have the wifi assist is turned off.. and this morning i was getting time outs on everything
-
I don't know what else to tell you. This normally just works. Being able to allow/block traffic is the basis for any firewall, and pfSense wouldn't be much good if it couldn't do at least that much.
-
right i'm baffled..
edit: unless this is related

thx for the assists over there KOM.. i'll try the block this evening to see it that outbound rule was messing with it..
-
dang.. no change setting a single block rule like the screen shot i posted previously breaks the internet for everyone..
-
I'm not sure how blocking a single host would interfere with everyone…
Can you post updated shots of your LAN firewall rules? Hopefully you just disabled the problem rule instead of deleting it.
-
i deleted it but its the same as whats posted in #20
here my lan and wan rules
the only other firewall changes that have been made is whats in the post#29 to get my xbox NAT to open
