Hi,

alternatively, to have logs inside pfSense with a rotation can be done as below (Method I had used long ago with pfSense 2.2.x):

a) install the Syslog-ng package on pfSense

b) configures Syslog-ng in Services / Syslog-ng / General as follows
Enable (checked)
Interface Selection: LAN
Default Port: 5140
Leaving the rest unchanged and Save

c) Now configure the default syslog pfSense to send logs to a remote server where the "remote server" is the same pfSense, then go to Status / System / Settings, activate Enable Remote Logging and put as ip address of the remote server to the LAN interface with the 5140 port, for example 192.168.1.1:5140, for Remote Syslog Contents choose what you want to send. Finally Save

As a final result, Syslog-ng logs will be found in the pfSense filesystem, specifically in /var/syslog-ng/default.log and they can be rotated by turning the configuration of Syslog-ng

Really no good way, it's up to the client to notice.

Did you look at this page
https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=108846.0

i liked it, on page 2 i placed an in my opnion beter script, in my modification only the not used vouchers are printed out.

@MOkasha:

….
i have configured CP on the Lan interface abd it working good
but i have local webserver and need users to access it

What is local : on LAN ?
@MOkasha:

but wheb any user try to access it tye CP authentication page show up althought i have added the server ip in the allowed ip's

What IP ? pfSense ? Some LAN device ?
Many OS's try to access a 'remote' server (some server on the internet) as soon as a gateway is handed over (by DHCP). You can't stop that / is not related to pfSense.

fantastic.

thank you very much.

Thanks for reply

One more thing right now ip base all log is availble which is shown in the attachment that is share here.

Where ip address is shown in attachment i want to  change to user name.

Suppose if this option is not possible. Then r u aware about from where these ip base all log are coming from pfsense source code and also where all these data are being saved in pfsense.

Thanking you

Well, at first I corrected the problem! What I did:

I added in the /boot/loader.conf entry,

The interfaces are recognized as xn0 and xn1. When adding the entry above, they become as re0 and re1.

When restarting the server I had to assign the interfaces again.

I do not know if the correction was made by adding the input. I just know it worked.

thank you for the information sir, ill start setting up a radius server.

Yes you can.

pfSense does not need to be the DNS server. But it is usually easier.

If pfSense is not the DNS server, the DNS server(s) assigned to the clients need(s) to be passed through the captive portal by IP address so DNS queries can succeed prior to captive portal login.

Maybe I need to look at something else to do this then in the mean time. I wouldn't want to sacrifice IPv6 for this to work.

@Gertjan:

@PayableOnDeath:

Is there anything special I need to do to have both IPv4 and IPv6 working via the portal?

You were saying "special" ?
In that case, well Yes !
Rewrite the entire 'captive portal code' so it can handle IPv4 and IPv6 ….

Ok, apart from that  ;)
Although if I did I am sure wouldn't be up to the standard required to be included and would need to be rewritten again  ;D

@Gertjan:

From a day-to-day usage, when IPv4 works, your client could use your portal. Adding IPv6 and be ready to open a hotline ;)

Why would I need to open a hotline?

@AYSMAN:

Hi Everyone,

Is it possible for the captive portal authentication (username and Password) using data's from an existing MySQL Database Schema? If so, Any guide on how to do this?

Thanks in Advanced.
