Hi all,
With the OpenWRT forum still not resolving correctly, I have decided to post this question here with the hope that someone will be able to assist me with my problem.
As a background, my device is a WRT1900AC Samba (v1) running @Davidc502 custom build - Lede SNAPSHOT r6781-2c192b6916 / LuCI Master (git-18.118.21533-00d2429) .
In addition to DNSCrypt, I have an OpenVPN client with one wireless network using wpad with MAC address filtering, client isolation, and KRACK prevention for our 6 wireless devices. I also have static leases setup for everything (wired and wireless).
While reviewing my system logs earlier, I discovered hundreds of entries containing daemon.notice hostapd: Station not allowed to authenticate messages. The MAC addresses appear to be random and do not resemble any of the MAC addresses of the devices we have on our network. I researched some of the addresses online and found the devices manufacturers are from Google, Samsung, Ubiquiti, Apple and so forth.
Enclosed below is a sample of the entries:

Has anyone got any idea what is happening here? How can I get rid of all these messages?
Thanks in advance.
