        you can block whatever you want.. be it a block all rule on a specific interface or specific to source IP that would hit said interface.

        Have you looked over

            Yes…  is your wifi on its own interface, or sharing your lan interface?  If so then you would have to create rule to block based upon the IP.. .so wifi IPs blocked, lan IPs allowed.

            Again as stated you can allow or block anything you want..  Just create the rule..

            If you can not identify between wifi and lan uses either based upon the interface they talk to pfsense on, or the source IP they are coming from then no.  Which is why is normally a good idea to keep things like wifi and wired on different interfaces in pfsense.

                dude does your wifi come into pfsense on different interface?  If not then you would have to create your rules to block only specific IPs that are the ones you want to block, or allow depending on how you right the rule.
