      Hi

      I am setting up a pfsense box to use at our local lan party.

      We require $10 to get into the lan and have had some issues w/ not being able to get money from everyone, so i thought of using Captive Portal to allow the person access once they pay, so i can setup the php part of it w/ users and such, but i was wondering if there was a way of restricting the user access to the lan using captive portal, something like a different subnet or assigning them a bad ip address,

      it isn't that i just want to block them from the internet, but i also want to keep them off the network entirely.

      Thanks for any help

        I ussually setup Captive Portal on a separate interface and then you should be able to use firewall rules to restrict them from accessing the other network.  So yes different subnet on the other interface.

          What i was looking for is to dynamically switch the user from not having a working network at all except for connectivity to just the captive portal to having full network use and internet use once they pay and i accept them.
