![]() ![]() VPN application data, resides within that packet. The MAC address is part of the packet header. I understand MAC address filtering, and how a WiFi router uses the MAC address to address 802.11 devices and route traffic in the WLAN/subnet. ![]() In other words, during restricted hours, a device ordinarily has no access to the internet, but when the VPN is switched on, access is provided. HOWEVER, when a device on my WLAN uses VPN, the traffic simply seems to tunnel straight through the restrictions. A device on the restriction list remains associated with the WiFi AP (router), but access to the internet is prevented by the router. This is used for access restrictions, e.g for parental controls to keep certain devices off-line during certain hours. My DSL-WiFI router provides MAC address filtering.
