Internet Access Control for OpenWrt

This software is designed for OpwnWrt routers. It allows you to restrict the internet access for specific hosts in your LAN. You can block the internet access permanently or on schedule basis for any MAC address. The schedule contains the time of a day and the days of the week. New in version 4: You can also issue a "ticket" for any blocked user. It gives him an extraordinary access to the internet for a given time.

The software is a Luci app extending the system's firewall, so it runs on any platform with no need to recompile. Tested on OpenWrt BB and CC. Note: due to a bug in CC, the times must be set in UTC, rather than local time.

After installation you'll find a new page in OpenWrt's GUI: Network/Access control.
