The OP refers to a situation where the new CP user tries to initally load an https URL (for instance, https://google.com as opposed to http://google.com) You could redirect his initial connection to e.g. https://google.com to your own https server ("impersonating" google.com in order to further redirect him to your CP login page) but unless the user's browser has loaded your CAcert, it would result into various scary-looking warnings by his browser about "problems with the security certificate" recommending to him to close the page.

likely you're breaking DNS by not using the DNS forwarder or permitting the DNS server IPs

You can use aliases.

As far as I know this optin just means which IP address should be sent to your radius server when there are packets coming from CP. http://freeradius.org/rfc/rfc2865.html#NAS-IP-Address

My solution is ; Allow my dns server in the Mac Pass through list. And everything is working now

There are timecounters included into freeradius. The one is the "db.daily", "db.monthly" and so on. This can be used without sql database and is just counting the time the user is connected. Another possibility is to use the same counter module but a sql database to do the counting: http://abechik.wordpress.com/2007/03/15/freeradius-disconnected-user-when-time-limit-exceed/ But it is always for the connected time but not the offline time of the user. Perhaps you can do some tricks on the sql database to solve this.

No bandwidth limits in CP, I will try your tip and let u know, thanks!!!

it isn't html but it might help you out?   if (!empty($_GET['act'])) {     echo "Hello world!"; //Your code here   } else { ?> (.. your html ..)   } ?>

you'll need another machine with mysql p h p & apache  and a radius manager such as daloradius which can generate the prepaid usernames and passwords. with a download and/or upload quota a dd to that pfsense 2.02 which fixes a bug in the captive portal accounting.

The problem is just to put the whole link including http ie: https://www.google.com

Thank you… works fine now  :o @wallabybob: @carcar: Can I have also a GUIDE on how to edit my captiveportal.html file permanently? Always having problem during system reboot, it will revert to its original file. Why can't you use a custom portal page? (See Services -> Captive Portal, on the Captive Portal tab scroll down to Portal Page Contents (near the bottom).)

What brand are your bridge devices? Can you set them up to use WDS or transparent bridge mode?

have a look at this post: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,53846.0.html.

@Nachtfalke: Which OS is your friend using ? I read something about problems with MAC OS. They are using window 7. I don't know why but the ip are already assign by my dhcp server.

It's been discussed and answered on the forum before, turned up in the first thread I found in a search. http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,34148.msg181641.html#msg181641

@Roques: Thank you very much Fred! No Problem. @Roques: The Ubuntu server is at your place? Yes @Roques: Is there a way to host this on the same pfSense server? or a way to have this service on the cloud? There is a freeradius package that can be added to pfsense (System -> Packages then click the available packages tab) but I can't help you with that as I've not used it myself, the same goes for cloud hosting. @Roques: The FreeRadius's function is to store that information for when the user revisits? Yep, the login will be preserved as long as it is not removed from the MySQL database.
