Captive Portal Voucher Support
-
This is awesome. I know many have been waiting for multi-wan captive portal functionality for a long time. Many thanks to the development team on this one.
One question I have is if the traffic shaping feature will work with the multi-want captive portal?
-
You have the shaping of CP and it will work on multi-wan.
Or you are asking the traffic shaper of pfSense itself and not that of the CP? -
I just want to say thank you for this great feature! I've switched from m0n0wall because vouchers are now available in pfsense. Works great for cafe hotspots, offering free Wi-Fi access to their customers - no more leeching neighbors.
I can report a bug with the error page, after it's accessed, the redirect to the original page is lost. I'm using custom html files, but they are the same from m0n0wall, which didn't exhibit this problem.

Is this working with version built 090910 ?
not working for me anyway
if i choose "no authentication" everyone can login and other choises noone can login..ideas?/F

Is the voucher system that's being introduced to pfSense the same time based system as http://doc.m0n0.ch/handbook/ch12s04.html? I don't have a whole lot of funds but do you think a data based voucher option would be a feasible addition to this project if I were to start a bounty to that effect?
-
You can start the bounty with the specification and see the feedback.

The pfSense (2.0) voucher is the same as the m0n0wall one. But there are probably still some bugs. Saving the captive portal settings don't log the users out, and killing the user's session doesn't seem to work very well. I also ran into a problem where I was playing with the voucher's code length and complexity and it somehow corrupted my entire voucher database.
I didn't seem to have such problems in m0n0wall.

I fixed some small issues here and there so retry with next snap.
Just next time report on the 2.0 forum the steps to reproduce your problems.

To be clear in advantage:
I'm sorry but I am a complete Noob on linux.I would like to use the 1.2.3 captive Portal but need Vouchers.
I've tested the 2.0-Alpha-Alpha but its a little bit too Alpha for my taste.
(Hang in CP when enabling, result in no reaction, freezing etc…
thats why its alpha but not suitable for use in a non testing area)I want to use vouchers to limit the free access to about twenty minutes or halve an hour to keep neighbors and schoolkids out.
I've read the Commitments linked in this Topic but have no clue how to Add the Voucher Support on 1.2.3
As I stated above I'm a noob on this.
Is there an packet available wich adds the voucher support to the 1.2.3?
Or can someone give me a clue howto add this by myself?Thanks in advance

I've also recently installed the 1.2.3 and am interested in vouchers.
Is there any tool (apart from the 2.0 Alpha) that can allow time based vouchers generation from a computer in the LAN other than the pfsense box itself? -
You could set up a RADIUS server on which users are generated with a expire time.
Set the captive portal to authenticate against this RADIUS server and enable the option to reauthenticate every minute (might require some decent hardware if you want to do that for a large number of users).
