We do not have any plans for these feature right now.
The first one is already present from command line but it’s hard to create a good and simple UI for it.
I think we can add also the wake on lan, but what do you exactly expect from the feature?
Can you eventually share a couple of screenshot from IPFire for both functions?
The feature is already there, but we still miss a UI for it. This is already on our todo list.
This should scan the LAN and display all MAC addresses available in a GUI for WOL.
Scheduled options would be nice. See maybe below for a GUI example from current OpenMediaVault.
If the IP range is known, ANY idiot can access the network!
This is a waste of time and dev-resources, as DHCP NEVER regulates who can and who can^t access the network…
It only servers a fake “peace of mind”.
Well, DHCP isn’t what regulates network access, so any dev time is wasted, any “feelgood” time is also wasted…
Better spend time on real security if it’s important.
There are uses for DHCP in a Honeypot setting, yes. Or to trap rogue users in a network with only static IPs, yes.
But banning DHCP?
OK for ignoring a smartphone on a WLan, maybe…
My post was in reply to a post from @MadPatrick and I’m specifically refering to a “wished for” BAN and KICK option for DHCP, not for NethSecurity by that user!
Using firewall specific terminology in a completly foreign context (DHCP doesn’t do BANs or KICKs!) does not make sense and implies a lack of understanding what DHCP actually does.
NethSecurity already has a ban and kick option in Threatshield, AFAIK.
It is up to the Dev team if they find it a waste of time. Not up to me
They ask for wishes in the form of additions to Nethsecurity, so i try support the Dev team with my feedback.
No i’m not IT guru, but a user and banning devices which get connect (temporally allowed or not) i like to ban or kick out
For me it is a feature which might be handy.
