Yes I did read that rather outdated and irrelevant article from 2010 or 2011, but once again and for the second time what relevance is it to his question and how to shutdown the interface. I am not a very PC person so forgive me I have never found a use for it or need. Did you read and comprehend what he is question was and he wanted ?? or just asume something and hit google. ? hmmm. He asked a valid question and has a need to shut down the interface when it is under attack. anyone with any actual practical knowledge and experience knows the upstream provider will still pass traffic even if your box Pfsense or other drops it before it gets to the internal network. your bandwidth is still used up. until the upstream provider limits it or sees its down and stops it for a min or until the interface come backup. so in a dual wan or hosting even dropping the offending packets your bandwidth is still used up.
