      Hi,

      I want to Archive a pfSense box with integreated hotspot with captive portal (Wifi card + antennas)

      following constelation:

      ISP Router > pfSense > clients

      I configured a network bridge between WAN and Wifi. Just to find out the captive portal does not work with bridges, you'll be able to select the bridge, but does not work no matter what i tried.

      I can't see any other solutions than this at the moment. If anyone could point me into a direction, i'd appreciate it.

        Why exactly do you think you need to bridge your wifi network to your lan?

        I have multiple wifi networks via vlans and different ssid, none of which are bridged to anything.  There is like zero need to bridge these networks, other than not understanding how name resolution works and wanting to be able to broadcast for a netbios name or something.  Wanting to use say airprint since doesn't really work out of the box across segments.  So use avahi or setup the records you need in dns, etc.
