I did not notice an option in PfSense that allows a user to set a rule for certain time periods. Is there any plans for this later on, or experimental versions with it now?
An example for clarification: block all access until 12:00a (midnight) then allow access for an hour, and block access until the next midnight. The above could be implemented with a block rule active all the time, and in front of it(or above or on top, depending on how you look at it), a timed allow rule that only activates for the hour between 12:00a and 1:00a; I believe that would be the correct order for operation. I've thought of a hack to do this, but given my limited knowledge of PfSense, it probably wouldn't work. Basically, the rule is written to a file when the user creates it, when the time comes around a cron task puts the text into the rules, and reloads the config. Then at the time the rule it supposed to exit, a cron task runs, removes the rule (using grep), and reloads the config. Thanks Anthony
