Hi

I dont know if this is even possible on Monowall?

I would need to shape the controlling of traffic and the online time by client's MAC address.
Client connecting WAN through LAN --> ALIX2D2(DNS/DHCP) --> WAN

If it cannot be done using the GUI, is it somehow possible to do with command line?

I have a system as follows;
M0n0wall version 1.32,  Platform PC Engines ALIX.2D2

Regards,
Tero

You can force the assignment of a specific IP address to a connecting client with a specified MAC address using Static ARP and/or DHCP reservations. See:

http://doc.m0n0.ch/handbook/faq-macfilt.html

Then you should be able to set up Traffic Shaper rules that apply to specific IP addresses.

A connecting client may be able to circumvent this by spoofing another MAC address, unless you can figure out a way to prevent that.
