I want to test out this software on my rp4. ( this does pihole for my wife and kids unit)

I read that the unit does selfconfiguration. ? what is that ?

I only want two units (IPs) on my 18 unit (IPs) pfsense DHCP controlled DNS network to use the eblocker device. nothing more.

What does excatly happen when the unit need to spend 5 minutes to config it self at first install ?

and why am i not reccomended to plugin a screen to watch the proces ??

 

Client OS
Browser
eBlocker hardware
Client OS version

This is ARP spoofing to redirect device‘s traffic to eBlocker before it hits the gateway (see „how eBlocker works“ menu). Of course you can disable ARP and configure the device gateway individually (ie via your pfsense DHCP).

No problem. You can freely chose which devices should be protected by eBlocker.

Scanning all local devices and ARP setup.

Because all configuration is done via a http(s) interface. There is no hdmi output.

Hope this helps 😉 Just give it a try 🤗 it‘s very easy for a technician running pfsense 😎 

THX!

As I anticipate you probably think of root access, you might find this post useful: https://eblocker.org/community/main-forum/ssh-root-access/#post-3344
