      And keep in mind that after each update you need to make this changes again.
      So I do with my changes for printing QR codes for voucher access.

        The IP address has been successfully transformed into a domain name, but it also caused a deadlock. How can this be resolved

            By undoing what you did, so you'll get the stable situation back.
            Its (not) clear to me that more has to be changed.
            Sorry, can't do more here.

            No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.

                    Try this :
                    Force redirect to preset URL :

                    34ecdb06-5818-4b55-be5b-8586a5c6d46f-image.png

                    I know, not a real solution, but it would break the recursive redirection.

                      @Gertjan The user has been authenticated and can access the internet. Further redirection would be meaningless

                        I get it.
                        Consider this : when you visit the captive portal's IP or host name manually, the request will get handled by the nginx (the web server handling the captive pirtal login page) : the used host name will be stored in the redirect parameter.
                        Or, the url (host name) is the host name of the web server itself.
                        After a valid login, you will get redirected to this 'redirected url'.
                        Which was ... the same page.
                        And from now on, this goes in circles : you saw what happens.

                        Simple solution : never enter or use the captive portal's host name, as the portal will auto redirect to this url anyway.

                        To break this redirect loop, I proposed the 'https://www.whatver.tld' solution.

                        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.

                          @goldsoft To change the URL, you can follow these steps:

                          Access your router settings.
Look for the configuration related to the URL or redirection.
Replace "http://192.168.1.1" with "http://pfsense" in the configuration.
Save the changes.

                          This should update the URL as you want. If you need more detailed instructions, please specify your router model for further assistance. Also, consider using the essay writing service at for academic help.
