ISP features

Hi Forum, sorry if I missed something. But I was too busy.

Hope that the new ASTARO will have some features of the ISP like:

* MAC address authenitcation
* Time-Based access for some users.

Regards,

Here is simby's thread on the topic of "Blackhole." I really don't understand the need for a "blackhole" in this application.

Hrm, agreed, that could be dangerous.

We get false positive port scans on occasion from our own systems. "Blackholing" all traffic from them would be a bad thing.

The existing mechanism seems to be fine to me.

Please expand your time-based access requirements.
V6 already has time based user access control both in HTTP and filter rules. I think it also has additional user control if you are using some of the other network login software eg radius. I don't use any of the extra network software like MS server, but from my days on networks you can limit user (time based)access within them as well.
