Captive Portal speed limit stopped working
-
Thank You for great investigation. I authenticate devices by mac address only. Is it possible You check it that way?
-
Like :
using :
I saw :
and below :
Result :
Btw : I executed one more step after adding my MAC : I've disabled the portal, and re enabled it.
-
Within the mac address addition, You entered the download/upload speed or left the fields blanc?
-
-
Okay, that works here too. The problem is in the situation where i leave the speed fields empty (while adding mac address), only fill the default speed limits in captive portal config.
Are You willing to try this case?
CP settings
MAC address
Speedtest

@Gertjan are You willing to test that setup?
-
Not needed
IMHO, It works like this :
All connected devices that use the captive portal page will have a related "pipe". You can see these pipes here : Diagnostics > Limiter Info
These users will also get listed here : Status > Captive Portal > CPZONE
These users will all have the common "Per-User-bandwidth restriction", your 15001 down and 7501 up.For MAC (in the MACs page) listed devices, they will have their own pipes, and their own, individual limits. You've listed none, so "Piots Desktop Z270" is unimited
In other words : the ""Per-User-bandwidth restriction" is for the devices that have to authenticate.
MACs, Allowed IP addresses and Allowed Host-names have their own speed limits. -
No way, i am using pfsense since some years. Some updates ago the limit was applied to the MAC users for sure. I dobt know when it changed, or may be it's a bug.
-
If MAC bandwidth isn't set, like you've shown, then this setting :
should apply ?
Its says : logged in users. MAC users are not logged in ^^
Possible that it worked differently before, I don't recall as I'm not (or rarely using) the MAC entries.
The portal, since the day it (pfSense) was forked from M0n0wall.A lot changed recently, as ipfw got ditched for a pf being put on steroids. The functionality you described might be most during that process.
-
@Gertjan ok, then it seems things changed and i need to update all MAC settings.
Thank You.
