Summary0002727: Time based rules
DescriptionIt would be nice to have time based rules.

For example ftp is only allowed from 8am to 6pm.
Can this be done with some scripts running via cron?

iptables already has this capability

I don't understand exactly what you mean with iptables. But i was wondering if it was possible to implement a web ui where we can configure time based routing policies (something like dd-wrt has) in endian (without of course using iptables and cron by CLI)

thanks.

Endian firewall rules uses iptables. And iptables support time based rules per default. So there is no need to use cron.

iptables RULE -m time --timestart TIME --timestop TIME --days DAYS -j ACTION

So you can allow e.g. ssh from 6am to 6pm.

thank you for the reply, if this is "that easy" i hope there will be a way to implement it into "network --> routing --> policy routing"

so that will be easy to set up time based policy rules from the the web UI
