@gertjan yes bottom of same image.
and i roll back to 2.5.2 of pfsense with same setting and it is working fine in 2.5.2.

@Gertjan Thank you for your answer
As @ahsunh said , the same setup was working fine with 2.5.2 version , the issue happened after the Upgrade to 2.6, and FYI I have two setup in two different countries, that was working fine before the upgrade to 2.6.
DNS, captive portal , .... everything works fine just WhatsApp call (chat works).
As I mentioned in my first post , I DID TEST OTHER VOIP APP like Instagram, they are working fine , this issue is only with whatsapp.
I did a test allowing some whatapp's public IP --> WhatsApp call WORKS

Hello, I actually have the same problem with WhatsApp Call. A connection is not possible. In addition, we have also noticed that VPN connections are also no longer possible. Has anyone here possibly already found a solution?

[moelharrak]

@Knolli appreantly 2.6 has an issue with UDP, no solution has been found yet as far as I know.
You can go back to 2.5.2 to make everything work as normally.

@moelharrak
Thank you. I‘ve been trying to find the problem for a while now, unfortunately without success. I will now carry out a recovery.

[adminacp]

Confirm this. Been having the same issue since upgrading from 2.5.2 to 2.6.0. Hoping for a solution soon for this

What about the solution posted yesterday? :)

See The pfSense forum, subsection "Captive portal". That's the place where you posted.

This thread for for example : UDP/ICMP is not working after upgrade to 2.6.0, you will find also that the System Pacthes pfSense package has been updated, and that it contains now a fix : "Fix Captive Portal handling of non-TCP traffic after login (Redmine #12834) "

That's it : 3 words, no details, nothing ??!?

Have you found : new System Patches v2.0 ?

So : install that official pfSense package "System Patches" first :

login-to-view

Open System => Patches and you'll see :

login-to-view

There will be a Blue Apply button.
Your mission : click it. Done.

Keep this pfSense package "System Patches" updated.

Hi,
I'm using pfsense 2.6.0, the latest version of "System Patches" is :
login-to-view

• I see no "Fix Captive Portal ..."
  login-to-view
• I tried that manually to add the commit ID, but it says patch failed
  login-to-view

[moelharrak]

Now The "System_Patches" version 2.0_4 is installed, the issue was in the "System Update" Previous stable version was selected.

• Patch installed and now UDP seems working with the captive portal.
  Need to do more tests.
  Thank you very much

[adminacp]

@gertjan Sorry for the late reply. Done doing the suggestion and now everything work. Thank you!

[rfmendes]

Boa Tarde.

Estava com problemas em chamadas do whatsapp, tanto vídeo quanto áudio atrás de um captive portal. Instalei o Pacote "System Patches" e apliquei o Patch do Captive Portal... conforme orientado. Reiniciei o servidor e tudo voltou a funcionar 100%. Estarei realizando mais testes, mas de momento esta resolvido.

Obrigado pela ajuda!

Hi... I am new to this forum and have a similar problem with my pfsense+ Version 22.01 (don't know if this is the same as 2.6).
login-to-view
With the previous Version WLAN Call for our mobile phones worked without problems....since the update no more....when I disable the captive portal then WLAN Call works.
I have also in the meantime installed the System Package 2.0_4
login-to-view
Unfortunately WLAN Call still doesn't work.
Do you have an idea how to solve this?

@bilgram said in Captive portal block whatsup:

System System Package 2.0_4

Installing System Package 2.0_4 isn't enough.
One more click is needed :

login-to-view

Click Apply.

edit : strange. I"ve said the same thing already in this thread.
Your issue is different ? And if so, more details please.
What is "WLAN Call" ? A call using some VOIP protocol on a device that is connected to a Wifi network, that is also your captive portal ? (guess so).

[Bilgram]

@gertjan
Wow....thanks for the speedy reply..:-))
I read the thread but didn't understand it...or should I say I can't see where I can find the "Apply" Button....
I installed the Patch 2.0_4 over the Package Manager and as you can see the Patch is fully installed....according to the Package Manager...
Otherwise it would be in red...
login-to-view

Where do I find this "one more click"??
FYI:
WLAN Call allows mobile devices to telephone over wireless LAN Network (DSL) WITHOUT using a mobile provider e.g. O2 or Vodafone. The provider however has to allow this or rather hass to make this service available...
Our mobile devices are in our so called "neutral" zone which is actually our external Network and every device in this Network goes over the captive portal.

I installed the Patch 2.0_4

So you have a new menu item here :

login-to-view

Click on Patches.

And then to the click on patch "(Redmine #12834)" as mentioned above.

[Bilgram]

@gertjan
aha....that's where it is!!:-))
Thanks for your help.....now I have to test it.....
As you may have gathered I am not an expert in this patch blah blah....
I'm old school....user to have a SUSE Linux Firewall...with CLI and all that..

Anyway one last question.....would you advise me that I "apply" the remaining patches or should I only explicitly choose those when a problem occurs??

@gertjan
oh dear....I assume I have to do a REBOOT in order for the patch to take effect?!?
