I have a freebsd gateway and I want some users in my LAN to be able to connect to internet and some of them to not to. I looked over ipfw but it is very easy to change your IP address from Windows and get another IP which is not restricted which belongs to the users who should be able to connect to internet. So it seems that using IP addresses to limit connectivity would be quite inefficent but the MAC address would be fine. Or any other better suggestions? probably some kind of authentication?
