MAC Address Client Filtering

Post by kasun110 » Wed Oct 16, 2024 5:48 am

Hi,

We need to block certain devices from connecting to the softeither. Is it possible to block specific device via MAC address. I seen block can be done using the IP address. But it's not possible in this situation.

Thank you

SoftEther VPN does not natively support blocking devices by MAC address, as it primarily uses IP address filtering. However, you can implement a workaround by configuring your network's DHCP server to not assign IP addresses to specific MAC addresses. This way, those devices won't receive an IP address and cannot connect to the VPN. For more advanced network control, consider using firewall rules at the router level.
