  i don't know about ntopng but you can also install squid + lightsquid that can tell you what someone inside your lan is visiting, it make a log of all web sites, there is realtime also. maybe a combination of both can help you. it's not useful if people inside your lan is using torrent or some p2p, in that case you should block the port or use pfblockerng-devel also snort/suricata have rules that block p2p that would prevent or make p2p painful to use at least prevention is better than cure.

  @Tom8888 said in Captive Portal Configuration, willing to hire someone...: then when i try to use the default captive portal page, You mean, you activate the cave portal first .... Then you disconnect your RJ45 cable or Wifi connection ... (to stop any IP,'s states, etc) Re connect .... When the connection (cable or Wifi) is re-established, watch your device closely. If it's recent enough it will tell you some user action is needed (popup on the right bottom of the screen if it's a Windows 7 - on an iPhone or iPad : the login page will show up by itself - Windows 10 : I don't know, I guess it works ...) See the the official video : what did you do - didn't do ? Take note of the DNS settings : if you use the resolver and you did not change any settings, then DNS is ok. And as always : https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/captiveportal/captive-portal-troubleshooting.html Did your device get an IP ? (an IP giving to your device by the DHCP server running on pfSense ?) Did your device get an DNS ? (typically, this will be the IP of the network on which the captive portal is running - such as 192.168.1.1) Did your device get an gateway ? (typically, this will be the IP of the network on which the captive portal is running - such as 192.168.1.1) Before logging in - right after you received an IP/Gaterway/DNS, can you resolve ? Open a 'cmd' and ping to google.com. It will resolve google.com to an IPv4 but there will be no replies (normal, you're not logged in yet). But you saw that "google.com" was resolved something like "209.85.233.139" this means DNS isn't broken. (aka : DNS works - this is important).

  @free4 said in pfsense: packetFence I thought of packetfence but am not sure whether I will be able to configure packetfence on one machien and pfsense on another. The confusion was with respect to architecture. Should Packefence be inline with one link to the internal network and the other NIC connected to pfsense which has three nics(two wans and one lan) Will this solution slow down the speed with ths extra latency

  Captive portal ignoring MACs in latest version and allowing all machines access

  I"m still reading here .... trying to figure out. Last couple of weeks I loaded a Hyper-VM on my 2012 Win server, it has 3 NIC's, so I can simulate and test without disturbing my companie network. Also : I'm using a second PC @home loaded with pfSense (using VM also). Detail these 2 phrases : @h2professor said in Captive portal ignoring MACs in latest version and allowing all machines access: After, with 28:c6:8e:0f:95:9b set to Block after.txt I note that the MAC is not found in the second output. As soon as the captive portal is activated on an interface, everybody (MAC, IP, whatever) is blocked. Even when you have this : on the LAN interface. ipfw takes precedence of the ip firewall. ip being the firewall you set up with the GUI. When you add a MAC on the MAC tab as a "pass" , this MAC will be part of your table "default_pipe_mac": 02100 145763334 141217081935 pipe tablearg ip from any to any MAC table(default_pipe_mac) This is a snaphot of your "default_pipe_mac" : dc:ef:09:9b:a8:c0 any 2671 1155484 1699152753 1560263421 any dc:ef:09:9b:a8:c0 2670 11 0 1560262129 You can see the MAC, the pipe rule numbers 2670 (down) and 2671 (up) and the number of bytes received and send. These are the related pipe rules 2670 and 2671 : ..... 02670: unlimited 0 ms burst 0 q133742 100 sl. 0 flows (1 buckets) sched 68206 weight 0 lmax 0 pri 0 droptail sched 68206 type FIFO flags 0x0 16 buckets 0 active ..... 02671: unlimited 0 ms burst 0 q133743 100 sl. 0 flows (1 buckets) sched 68207 weight 0 lmax 0 pri 0 droptail sched 68207 type FIFO flags 0x0 16 buckets 0 active ... Both are unlimited pipes. Btw : I found one (just 1) speed limiting (half a mega / s )pipe : 02223: 500.000 Kbit/s 0 ms burst 0 q133295 100 sl. 0 flows (1 buckets) sched 67759 weight 0 lmax 0 pri 0 droptail sched 67759 type FIFO flags 0x0 16 buckets 0 active Pipe 2223 : so this is device 28:c6:8e:0f:95:9b any 2223 11722 14806366 1560263421 any 28:c6:8e:0f:95:9b 2222 2 0 1560262183 is speed limited - this is the only device I found that was limited speed. The blocked MAC list : as you might have understand, MAC's that are blocked are not present in the ipfw tables and rules. When you add a MAC as blocked, it's been put in a list handled by the GUI. The Captive portal web server, when intercepting a (in your case : http) visitor web browser http requests, are redirected to this page page : (some conditions have to be met, like this page must is on the same LAN segment as the captive portal - there must be a http web server that can serve the page, etc - it might, it might not. For me, using an iphone, it didn't redirect well ) If no URL, the device is blocked, for any IP, for any port, for any protocol. But : when a MAC isn't present on the MAC tab, or it's set as a red block, it won't pass. I advice you to use and old PC to test - make sure there is a second NIC, and setup pfSense for yourself. Although I strongly advise you to use a captive portal on a dedicated - OPT1 - NIC, and leave the LAN for administrative purposes. When applied the minimal setup as per Netgate's video (there are 3 videos on Youtube, the Netgate channel, take a recent one that handles basic operations) no device can connect, and they will show the default Login when you use a web browser on a visiting device. https restrictions might apply. Now, when you add ONE MAC as a pass, this device can pass to the net. Right ? Still, no other device can pass. Right ? Add another MAC as a pass. It passes right ? An still, no other devices can pass. For the fun, add a MAC of a device that you own, as a BLOCK. It can not pass, right ? And again, other, non listed MAC's still can't pass. Etc etc. You could even import your entire "300 MAC" list. I would do this by exporting the config.xml - then use notepad++ to insert the block of .... <passthrumac> <action>pass</action> <mac>xx:8d:79:91:ec:52</mac> <bw_up></bw_up> <bw_down></bw_down> <descr><![CDATA[Sophie]]></descr> </passthrumac> <passthrumac> <action>pass</action> <mac>7c:bb:35:f2:a9:0e</mac> <descr><![CDATA[Serge Nouveau portable]]></descr> </passthrumac> ..... in the correct section, and import that file back in again. Still, unlisted device you own can't pass as they are not part of the list. I ended up listing all my devices (9) as blocked : they didn't pass. I removed them from the MAC tab, so not listed as a pass or block : they still didn't pass. Btw : do not hesitate to reset firewall states. I don't know if it is really needed, but it would harm to reset they all the time, after changes. My main question is : can you replicate your issue on a barebone system, after a manual minimal setup. And if so, after which change your issue happens ? Also : export your .... <passthrumac> <action>pass</action> <mac>xx:8d:79:91:ec:52</mac> <bw_up></bw_up> <bw_down></bw_down> <descr><![CDATA[Sophie]]></descr> </passthrumac> <passthrumac> <action>pass</action> <mac>bb:bb:35:f2:a9:0e</mac> <descr><![CDATA[Serge Nouveau portable]]></descr> </passthrumac> ..... section, and drop it in here. Mistify all MAC's be replacing the first byte by placing 'bb', as I did above. I'll import your list. I wonder if I see the issue then ...

  @kiokoman said in images from file manager not showing: of course not there is a specific section on the Captive portal to load images, Right. It's here : Check out this : Got it ? You see the first "check" : "Use custom captive portal page Enable to use a custom captive portal login page" ? It's not clear if @exofio is using the default, build in login page - which has an optional replaceable background and logo image, or if he is using a self-made login 'html' page.

  @wazim4u : Do you redirect a new, just logged-in user to an URL ( setting After authentication Redirection URL ) ? This is what I think : when a user logged in using the IP (or URL) of the captive portal page, the users browser gets redirected to the same URL (== the captive pprtal's web server).... which will redirect again - to itself -, and again, and again etc - recursif. The URL thrown back to the browser becomes to big, nginx will finally produce the "send() failed (40: Message too long)" error. For myself, I redirect, no matter what, to "https://www.google.com" but you can take any URL like a your companie's site. Another explanation : you have quiet a lot of portal users. Not every user uses the latest smart devices /PC's with the latest OS and the best browsers. Even I see still IE8 (Windows XP) connecting to my portal. These ancient devices are not portal aware. They won't behave correctly. Or even : not all the apps are written the same way. At least, Apple reviews (some what) each and every app before it's released - the Android society is a pure zoo. So, a bad app can throw out an URL that's to big. nginx will bail out. So, mind you, these are all theories. I do not have the test park to test them.

  I agree totally. People that use devices to connect to the Internet are aware of the fact that an capital X and small case x are not always the same. I know - again : we as a company still receive, ones in a while, mails in all capitals - or all lower case. Better yet : check out this forum, you will find the same thing. Btw : forcing whatever is entered as a user name to capital ? No big deal. Find line 216 in /usr/local/captiveportal/index.php Here it is : $auth_result = captiveportal_authenticate_user($user, $passwd, $clientmac, $clientip, $pipeno, $context) Surround $user with "strtoupper" like this : $auth_result = captiveportal_authenticate_user(strtoupper($user), $passwd, $clientmac, $clientip, $pipeno, $context) This will force whatever the user entered, to capitals. True : when pfSense updates, you will have to redo this edit - ones or twice a year. A small shell script that starts when pfSense reboots could do this for you.

If you really have to, put the videos, images and other big resources in separate files, and link to them from the main index login page. Note : None of the files can be bigger then 10 M. Also : everything you upload will be stored into the config.xml file.

  Tip : The easiest file to edit / change first the https://pastebin.com/QLhNhgAW : the GUI web config page. Search for 'noconcurrentlogins' occurrences in that file. The only thing that changes in that file is that the state of 'noconcurrentlogins', it chances from // $newcp['noconcurrentlogins'] = $_POST['noconcurrentlogins'] ? true : false; = true or false to true, false or multiple. This is handled in several places, and easy to spot. Test this one first. You can see in the GUI that it works : changing settings in the GUI can be tested using the 'viconfig' command : you should see the state of (noconcurrentlogins) in captive portal settings page.

  @ontzuevanhussen said in One account ONLY for one device on the captive portal: one account for one device, but does not disconnect the account that was previously logged. not sure i quite understand...you mean you want to allow only one login per user, and block additional logins attempts using an error page? if yes : pfSense does not natively support this feature. since you seems to be using freeradius, you could nevertheless add some freeradius setting (like simultaneous-Use : 1) to prevent an user to log in more than once. keep in mind that this kind of freeradius setting is not compatible with "reauthenticate users" for obvious reasons... also, independently of "is this technically possible", you should not do this. pfSense is using a MAC address&IP address couple to identify an user. for privacy reasons, a device may change them randomly over time. once its MAC or IP has changed, a device will face the login page again but won't be able to login anymore...is that really what you want?

  @ontzuevanhussen What are you trying to do? Have you registered the aps in freeradius or the controller, it needs to have the aps registered. Try running rasdniff -x from the pfSense cli, it might give you a clue. https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/captiveportal/using-captive-portal-with-freeradius.html

  @Nova9 said in [HOWTO] Captive portal + FreeRADIUS + local MySQL user friendly single step: Maybe the .js files aren't loading properly? Use the right button of your mouse. Every browser will give you the possibility to see the 'html source of the web page. You'll be seeing in a split second if resource files like css and js files are not load, most of the time because they have another file on the system name. Btw : The subject "Captive portal + FreeRADIUS + local MySQL user friendly single step:" is a rather big project. Nothing something that can be pulled of 'ASAP'. Using an old pfSense version gives you a new feature : you created a security time bomb.

The Solution is easy: Open /usr/pbi/freeradius-amd64/etc/raddb/sql/mysql/dialup.conf (or i386 if you run this) and search for the following: #simul_count_query = "SELECT COUNT(*) \                             #FROM ${acct_table1} \                             #WHERE username = '%{SQL-User-Name}' \                             #AND acctstoptime IS NULL" Change it to: simul_count_query = "SELECT COUNT(*) \                             FROM ${acct_table1} \                             WHERE username = '%{SQL-User-Name}' \                             AND acctstoptime IS NULL" As you can see it works fine: [2.1.5-RELEASE][root@hotspot.test.lan]/root(24): radtest USER PASS 172.16.1.1:1812 0 Start1234 Sending Access-Request of id 199 to 172.16.1.1 port 1812 User-Name = "USER" User-Password = "PASS" NAS-IP-Address = 192.168.1.1 NAS-Port = 0 Message-Authenticator = 0x00000000000000000000000000000000 rad_recv: Access-Reject packet from host 172.16.1.1 port 1812, id=199, length=68 Reply-Message = "\r\nYou are already logged in - access denied\r\n\n" [2.1.5-RELEASE][root@hotspot.test.lan]/root(25): Please note: You must configure the Accounting Table in Service/FreeRADIUS: SQL If you do not use your SQL Server for, the feature will not work. P.S.: I configured it on a group base, but it works also per user.

  Put them on another LAN/OPTx interface ?! Or, use FreeRadius, which gives a per user upload and download limit - although I guess the MAC added users all still handled by the captive portal main setting. I never tried this.

  Alright used it for a hour. Turning that check box, Reauthenticate Users, under Captive Portal Configuration OFF appears to have no other adverse effects. Idle timeout and hard timeout, again on Captive Portal Configuration page, are respected still as well. So I guess the moral is, anyone looking to utilize OTP with Captive Portal...make sure above mentioned box IS UNCHECKED(toggled off). :-) Thank you for all the help and tips @Gertjan; I appreciate your time.

  @Joao-Paulo you need to understand what that script is doing IPFW is a stateful firewall used by captive portal it does not literally disable captive portal we are putting a firewall rules on top of every other rules inserted by captive portal, in this case the first rule should match and let any connection to go anywhere, so if we analazy the command ipfw add 10 allow ip from any to any keep-state we are telling ipfw to add a rules that allow any ip to go to any destination with priority 10, that should circumvent the captive portal this is for example: [2.4.4-RELEASE][root@pfSense.localdomain]/var/log: ipfw add 10 allow ip from any to any keep-state 00010 allow ip from any to any keep-state :default [2.4.4-RELEASE][root@pfSense.localdomain]/var/log: ipfw list 00010 allow ip from any to any keep-state :default 01000 skipto tablearg ip from any to any via table(cp_ifaces) 01100 allow ip from any to any 02100 pipe tablearg ip from any to any MAC table(test_pipe_mac) 02101 allow pfsync from any to any 02102 allow carp from any to any 02103 allow ip from any to any layer2 mac-type 0x0806,0x8035 02104 allow ip from any to any layer2 mac-type 0x888e,0x88c7 maybe the only trouble that can arise is if there is people that have used captive portal before we add that line and still have a state running, so please explain what is exactly not working

  @free4 I have had some problems with browsers not liking my DNS server tomfoolery. Could you point me in the direction of the proxy server and settings I may need to uses? The network is only used for a neighborhood gaming network. I just want to serve three or four personal web pages, share files, and play some old school lan games. In fact I do not want them using the Internets at all. Thanks.

  This post is pointless if this argument points to rebuilding my network, how else are you going to get 2000 plus users on the same meshed Wifi guest network. I am not sure where your advice is coming from. This is a guest network setup so no mystery here, so if I have a conference center with an event your advice would lead me to believing I would require an astonishing 10 seperate network interfaces and SSID's... Interesting I would use the UniFi controller for this however it will not work the way I need it to without the USG device in addition to the controller appliance. I would have one interface to control and manage everything. Unifi FW and switches are glitchy and the cpative portal doesn't work as expected which is why I switched. pfSense can handle the throughput better. The captive portal on pfSense is rock solid when used with ubiquity AP's! Except for one little asthetic that I could live without, it would be nice to see. That is the point
