Hi guys, I've read the open-mesh FAQ but I'm not able to resolve my problem. I understood that the mesh network is a public network and that every user have to make sure their connection is secure but i don't want that another node (alien) can connect to my network so i thinked about use ebables to block all traffic (such as policy DROP of iptables) and allow only certain nodes to comunicate with other.
I need some like this ebtables -i wlan0 DROP ebtables -i wlan0 --src <node mac> ACCEPT
but don't work for me
ebtables is for made for bridges. So you have to send the whole traffic over a bridge that does the filtering for you. But I doubt that it actually fix your problem with alien nodes.
Kind regards, Sven
