Captive portal slow down connection troughput
-
Hi,
I'm usigning pfsense 2.7.2.
I've noticed that when I enable the captive portal on a lan the connection throughput slowing down.
The test is made used an online speed test and an iso download.
The speed test with CP disabled is about 800Mb, if I enable CP the speed test is about 160Mb.
There is no bandwidth limitation or traffic shaper.
Thank to all.

See here : Pf sense captive portal
Same observation ... but no details.
And sorry, can't come over to check, you really ave to tell us here 'something'. -
I installed pfsense on an esx to use the captive portal part, there are no firewall rules and it is behind an internet gateway.
Pfsense has one wan and two lans and the CP is on both; authentication occurs via freeradius installed on pfsense itself.
As mentioned, a LAN PC has much higher speed without CP enabled.
Thank you!

@pfsenseISIP said in Captive portal slow down connection troughput:
there are no firewall rules
No rules on an interface means : no traffic enters that interface.
Example :

via freeradius installed
And the basic, vanilla, just one "Portal on a OPT1", like shown on the official Netgate (Youtube channel) video's, that works ?

So you have two portal instances ?
Normally, LAN us for trusted devices, like the one you use for adming pfSense.
All non trusted devices should belong on other interfaces, like OPT1 (portal 1), OPT2 (portal 2) etc.
True, a captive portal can work on LAN ...
