Well, Toy a little bit with the two time-out settings (hard and soft) and you'll understand quickly how they interact.

I'm on 2.1-Release and also have this problem. Did anyone ever get it resolved? I've never had captive portal enabled on this box before. I just set it up and if I set a redirect URL in the config then it redirects to that just fine. If I don't set it though, the URL is http://ip.of.box:8000/$PORTAL_REDIRURL$ after I put in the correct voucher and it there is no redirection.

Fixed thank you.

If you select captive portal authentication on squid3-dev, you do not need any extra script. Squid logs will have username and client ip.

with further tests I verified the referrer not to be the original URL, ie it seems the original PORTAL_REDIRURL is not made available using "After authentication Redirection URL". EDIT. Ok, my bad, the redirurl is indeed in the HTTP_REFERER. With some minor string parsing the redirurl can be extracted and used: $REFERER = isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']) ? $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] : ""; $arrUrl = parse_url($REFERER); parse_str($arrUrl['query'], $arrVar); $redirURL=$arrVar['redirurl']

You need to put the two DNS ip's in the "allowed IP" section in the captive portal. I also found that I had to add www.apple.com into "allowed hostname" to get iPhones/pads through the captive portal. (Only when using a different DNS)

You can use freeradius/radius solution with pfsense to implement such a thing.

Finally I got it. I miss value="Continue" in Button. Thanks for every help

You need to be looking at the freeRADIUS documentation not pfSense documentation for the MySQL tables used by freeRADIUS.

@giovannio I think we are on the same objective. Maybe we have to learn first the basics of this topic. Unfortunately, there is no step by step howto about this. Maybe this will help you. https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=57081.msg304619#msg304619

activate captive portal on the firewall port (assumed pfsense based) where the switch is connected. HTH
