talking to the netgate team
Euh .... the solution was already on the forum.
13747 went from Not a bug, to Duplicate, to Bug again to get solved. I guess it's a question of finding the right words when writing feedback.
The official patch, as always, is much nicer : why adding a line if removing something does the job 😊
And be careful : https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/13784 was added on the fly : A MAC can (23.01) be blocked the soft way, the user will see the message that his MAC is blocked. You can chose bewteen an error message, or a MAC block portal page to be uploaded. See here for info and example how to implement that.
Or : new, see 13784 : totally rejected : the MAC becomes part of the pf rules that block any interaction with the captive portal interface. I guess the user would be able to get a DHCP lease sorted out, and that's it, nothing more.
