      Hi,

      I have set up a captive portal on the Guest VLAN with an authentication backend and when connected to the Guest VLAN then sure enough I cannot access the internet but the Captive Portal page is not shown.

      Is this likely to be a firewall rule issue?

      Regards
      Steve

            Try these settings :

            Use pfSense using default settings : nothing altered or added by you.
            Your device ; use default settings, so nothing altered or add by you.

            Example : You could set up your device to use a DNS like 8.8.8.8 instaed of the DNS you got from pfSense.
            That great, your choice.
            But now the portal doesn't work anymore, as their is no DNS available until the portal gets unlocked (and for that to happen DNS need to work) : chicken and egg problem.

            Another example : You've set up your browser to use DoH.
            That great, your choice. Free world and so.
            But now the portal doesn't work anymore, as their is no DNS available until the portal gets unlocked (and for that to happen DNS need to work) : chicken and egg problem.

            Etc.

            No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
            Edit : and where are the logs ??
