Hello.

I have a new device (Smart TV) that I do not trust with internet access.

But I need to keep it available on the LAN for the AirPlay feature to work.

 

I have tried setting up Access Control rules, unsuccessfully.

Setting a rule to deny out traffic from the device to any host will also prevent communication with the LAN.

I tried to add a second *whitelist* rule with a MAC target matching a LAN Apple device.

The AirPlay feature remains blocked.

 

So, is it possible to block WAN for specific devices?

 

Ideally, I would have liked to specify physical ports for this restriction, as I have seen the device advertise multiple MACs at some point (evasion tentative?).

 

Regards.

You could try the method I used described in this story and check if will work for your C50.

Well this is what I tried on my own. But it locks away the host from the LAN as well.
