Captive portal : showing user activity
-
When you use the captive portal, and you use the Freeradius package, there is a possibility to define a quota (of Mbytes used) per day, week or month.
Portal users defined in the pfSense users manager do not have quota related entries.
I'm playing a bit with the connected user database, and a couple of if statements later, I have :
I could add also the daily (weekly or monthly) max allowed quota.

@gertjan Thank you very much

No sure if I can address my question here, want hijack a thread...
But I noticed that in dashboard neither the origin widget nor the modified from here are updated dynamically!?
I have checked this several times, using users in groups with CP login permissions, using users not in groups, using vouchers.
The CP widget is only updating when refreshing the browser window or recall the dashboard.
All other widgets are updating dynamically (i.e. interfaces, traffic graphs, Wireguard/IPsec, ...).Is there any issue known with the CP widget? Is that by design?

You're right.
This captive portal widget doesn't contain the needed web browser side java script that refreshes the content.
Feature request ?On the other hand : portal soft and hard timeout values are often set to multiple hours, so, if you have not huge portal networks, with hundreds or more clients, the info doesn't change much every minute or less.
Also, be aware, the data collection for every client needs some pretty extensive low level data collector function calls. In the new version of the captive portal, ipfw isn't sued anymore. The core pfSense firewall, called pf, has been extended by Netgate for FreeBSD, to get integrated into pfSense 22.05 (2.6.0 still uses the older "ipfw" solution), so pf is now also aware of L2 ( ? ) MAC addresses. There are still bugs, and one of them is : a pf control system call that should return "bytes handled" by a users returns no (a zero) answer.
All this to say : this widget could / would be to heavy to stay on the dashboard wit a dynamic refresh. The GUI dahsboard page is quiet resource intensive on the system. -
@gertjan
Thanks for explanation, so its by design.
Its not bad, was just wondering about the different behaviour compared to the other widgets.Regards
