Firewall – pfsense: how to block internet for one client

firewallpfsense

I Have a network at home with a PFSense Software firewall. There are about 2 PCs and 3 laptops that connect to the internet through this firewall.

I would like to use the Firewall rules to block internet access for one of these devices on the network. The one that I want to block does have a static IP address assigned, and I also know its MAC address.

I just cant seem to be able to figure out how to create a rule that will effectively block internet access for that one device. But I still want that device to be able to access the network internally, such as network printers shared drives etc.

Add a LAN Firewall rule to block the IP of the guy by going to Firewall -> Rules -> LAN:

And be sure your rule is before the default "allow everyone" rule; since rules are processed top down, in order, until it finds one that matches.
