I have a RB750GL, which I use behind a bridged ADSL modem to connect to the Internet. RB750GL is connected to a 8 port switch.
What I wish to do, is implement some blocking/limiting of P2P traffic, and primarily limit the time period, which the children’s computers can connect to the internet. That is allow them to connect from 09:00 till 21:00, no connection from 21:00 till 09:00.
Please any links, to examples, or explanations, of how this might be best achieved, will be appreciated.
Thanks.
Edit:
Sorry - forgot, my own desktop, and home server, need to be excluded.
-Create an address list with the 2 PC’s you want to exclude in it.
-Create a “forward” chain firewall rule to drop packets arriving at your LAN-facing interface and originating from machines NOT on the address list. On the “Extra” tab there’s a time setting.
See attached screenshot for example.
If you only want to block one PC during the specified time, you can ignore the access-list and simply set the “Src Address” in the firewall rule instead. My example will exclude all PC’s except the ones you mentioned.
I had not considered VLANS, this seems to be a more flexible option, I don’t have a RB250GS handy, but am looking, do have a second RB750GL. Am looking for a RB250GS.
