Captive Portal over L3 link
-
Is there a way to get Captive Portal to work over an L3 link?
Current Setup
PFSense---L3----> Cisco Switch (Gateway) ------->>> Client
PFSense connects to a Cisco Switch via L3.
Cisco Switch connects to a computer. Cisco Switch provides DHCP and DNS.Anyway to have PFSense host the captive portal. Currently when enabled the captive portal cuts off network access to the client.

The 'portal' should have access to the clients IP and MAC as these two determine what client has access. So L2 ok, not L3, as a down stream router would hide the IP and MAC.
The client should use the DNS of pfSense.@07stuntar1 said in Captive Portal over L3 link:

That's what a portal does.
A portal interface is typically a second or third LAN type network to which non trusted devices can connect. Most, if not all, devices these days detect the portal, and the login page will auto load. DNS should work to make this happen. https access is advised.
