Toggle external access for some devices

[caramba]

Hi.

I'd like to enable or disable external (WAN) access for some devices, while letting them access the LAN. Is there a plugin
or something like that with a "push-button" method from the web UI ?

Thanks.

I've already set up several ones and I don't understand why I didn't figure that out

Easy to overlook what's right under your nose

Maybe I'm growing old but this kind of stuff happens more and more recently.

On the same line, is there a CLI command I could use to toggle these access ?

I need an easy way for my wife to allow/disallow internet access for my children devices. So I plan to have her click on a termux widget on her phone that does :

Code: Select all

ssh -t myrouter command-toggle-access <device>

You'll need to find the rule number in /etc/config/firewall. They should start with "rule_".

There is an "enable" flag which is set to 0 or 1 which you can toggle using

Code: Select all

uci set firewall.rulesection.enable = 1

Once you've done that you need to issue an

Code: Select all

sh /usr/lib/gargoyle/restart_firewall.sh

This will cause a momentary loss in connectivity while everything fires up again.

Thanks a lot !
