      in the captive portal page there is a tab at the top "Allowed IP addresses"

      click on that

      in there you click add "+"

      chose "to" in the direction

      put the dns ip in the ip address field

      add your description *dns1" or whatever you want

      then click save

      make sure to make one for each dns ip you have for failover purposes

        Still have the same problem.  No problem accessing the internet….

        and I made the changes... IE

        OPT1 172.20.128.0/24 with OPT1 interface 172.20.128.1

        LAN 172.20.30.0/17 with LAN interface 172.20.30.1

        Whenever I connect on that subnet I automatically get internet access no page redirect at all.  ???

          Sooooooooo fustrating….

          Another interesting fact...

          I cannot ping the OPT1 int ip of 172.20.128.1 unless I open a browser and go the http://172.20.128.1 and then it give me the portal page.  After I log in I can ping the OPT1 int ip.

          This should be an easy config...

            What are your OPT1 rules like? I have a similar setup on nano rc3 running fine. LAN is open, OPT1 is the wireless card, on a separate subnet. My OPT1 rules are:
            BLOCK * OPT1 net * LAN net * *  Wireless not allowed to access LAN
            PASS  *  OPT1 net * * * *          Wireless allowed out

            I have nothing in the Allowed IP addresses in the CP config. Wireless clients are getting DHCP/DNS from pfSense.

              I think you can make this one rule.  Make the destination !LAN?

                I also have CP working fine on nano, it didn't take anything special. Not even any special allow rules for IPs.

                I posted my settings in another thread.

                    Has squid ever worked with Captive Portal?

                    I didn't think the two were compatible, but I could be wrong (I don't use CP much)

                      Only on 2.0 i think it will work right.
                      Even there i think some tweaking is needed for this..

                      Try on 2.0 if it does not work open a bug report on redmine.pfsense.org.

                        Thanks for the clarification, ermal. I suspected as much but it's nice to know for sure.
