Thanks for the tip.  However, I was not able to get the software to work at all, incl the dhcp server.. went back to smoothwall.

Gave up after reading others were also having PPPoE issues with prior versions. Burned the latest image of smoothwall 3.1, installed, was up and running in less than 20min.  Hope the QA is tightened up on this project as it looks like it could be really good.

I was able to install it (easy enough once I logged in as installer) and finally got a connection from my laptop to the firewall but, I cannot seem to make it "go".

* I entered my pppoe settings, it will not connect.
* I configured dhcp, it will not give out dynamic leases.
* If I reboot, I have to logon to the firewall and ping a static IP, seemingly to "activate" the network.

What on earth could be so screwed up here? Have I missed a series of spells? Does it smell my fear of FreeBSD?

Hey folks,

Considering trying out opnsense and was wondering if it offered time of use restrictions?  By that, I don't just mean a one-size-fits-all setting, but, where I can select individual MAC addresses (the kids' tablets) and only allow them access at certain times of the day.

Possible?
