We have recently been the target of DDoS attacks. The same interface is
targeted each time. Is there any way we can shut down this interface
automatically when this happens? Is there a way to maybe set a threshold
for traffic and, when it reaches that threshold, automatically shut the
interface down? When this happens, the pfSense is overwhelmed and our
entire WAN loses Internet connectivity. I figure if we can shut the one
interface that is being targeted down before the traffic gets to the point
of saturating our bandwidth, then just that one network would be down
rather than our entire WAN.

"The number one benefit of information technology is that it empowers
people to do what they want to do. It lets people be creative. It lets
people be productive. It lets people learn things they didn't think they
could learn before, and so in a sense it is all about potential."
