Description Peter Müller 2019-01-22 17:38:27 UTC
Currently, enabling or disabling client isolation feature requires manual configuration change and is thus reverted any time configuration is generated by the WebUI.

There should be a checkbox to set this in a more comfortable way.

I do not see any reason why this is a feature...
Comment 2 Peter Müller 2019-01-22 20:00:05 UTC
I consider client isolation quite useful as it
prevents malware from spreading in internal networks,
hackers attacking other devices in the same wifi
network, and so on.

For these systems with WLAN I administer, I use
to enable it via command line, but this is not
very comfortable.

So I do not see any reason why not adding a switch
for it - it will not harm anything. :-)

This needs to be implemented in IPFire 3.x, too.
