      @net-mas said in Allowed IP Address does not work in captive portal:

      because it has been proven that the whole thing works with PFSense 2.6 - with PFSense+ (and presumably) 2.7 it no longer works

      The major difference between 2.6.0 and "current pfSense" like 2.7.0 and 23.05.1 is that the portal's firewall has been changed completely.

      Before : ipfw was used.
      These days, a more modern version of "pf" is used, as it can now also handle MAC.
      These page Troubleshooting Captive Portal, changed a lot.

      What I want to say : you've found probably something that was possible before, and now not anymore.

      I guess "Allowed IP Address" ≠ "Allowed IP Network".

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

          I have tried both /32 and /24 and /16 masks and it does not work either way.

            the functionality is contained directly in the upper right corner of the GUI. So more precisely, the developer cannot point out that he supports IP networks

              As far as I could observe, the script (I guess php) to configure the "Allowed IP Address" page does not correctly save the configuration in the corresponding "rule" file. This would explain, in my case, that no output is obtained when executing "pfSsh.php playback pfanchordrill" in the "pzoneid_2_allowedhosts" section.

                Unfortunately, none of that means anything to me, I'm not that deep into the PFSense system. I would only be interested here if you can manipulate it: Can you find a variant of how it is stored correctly and thus used correctly with the subnet specification? In other words, is it just a GUI error or a firmware error because of the exchanged ipfw?

                  I don't know the system that well either, I am researching, if I find something, I will write it here.

                    Hummm.

                    21735d39-3064-4dee-9ad1-fcdb5ebe3519-image.png

                    I never actually saw that one.

                    If I select /30 as shown, I obtain :

                    cpzoneid_2_allowedhosts/192.168.2.100**_30** rules/nat contents:
                    ether pass in quick proto 0x0800 l3 from any to 192.168.2.100**/30** tag cpzoneid_2_auth dnpipe 2012
                    ether pass in quick proto 0x0800 l3 from 192.168.2.100**/30** to any tag cpzoneid_2_auth dnpipe 2013

                    That 'looks' correct.
                    I guess : you subject is wrong ?

                    It's not "Allowed IP Address does not work in captive portal"
                    but "Allowed IP Network does not work in captive portal" as an IPv4is a /32, and smaller then /32 is a network.

                    I'm even not sure. Something like this :

                    Address: 192.168.2.100 11000000.10101000.00000010.011001 00

                    =>
                    Network: 192.168.2.100/30 11000000.10101000.00000010.011001 00 (Class C)

                      @Gertjan That's correct - it wasn't my topic either, it was originally from someone else. I just stuck around here because I think it was/is similar. If that's wrong, we'll just have to open a new topic.

                      https://forum.netgate.com/topic/180480/ip-or-mac-passthrough-didn-t-work

                      here was the original post - but I didn't open it myself. In it, susobaco wrote to me that he probably has a similar problem - hence the cross reference

                          Hi,
                          I had the same problem.

                          Look at my post
                          maybe it helps.

                            It seems to be solved by putting the configuration page in English. If you do it that way it worked for me, it seems to be an error with the translation of the "Bold" "From" and "To" options. If you enter them in English, the rules seem to work.
