Captive Portal: no login screen

axscode

Just my 2 cents.

1. Enable DNS Forwarding
2. Under DHCP Server
Gateway Address = LAN Address
DNS 1 = LAN Address
DNS 2 = Blank

You may now renew using your dhclient or ipconfig /renew (on win).

Also, try disabling squid proxy just for testing, and if there's an assigned proxy for your browser.

Regards.

Can you share your hardware specs?

And can you reinstall your pfsense?

use default configuration, but only editing your LAN and WAN. and get internet connection working
enable captive portal.
dont add any packages yet, and dont enable traffic shapings and all sorts of that, just the default.
if you get captive portal working, by then you'll add one by one what you need so that you will know whats interfering with CP.

So far my new installation works perfectly
– with or without radius

packages

with bandwidthD
with IMSpector
with Dashboard

I had the same problem.The login page wouldn't appear and i had to manually navigate to http://ip:8000.
The problem existed from the 1.2.3 RC's to the final version.
As DNS servers on the DHCP I had DNS from Opendns.
I removed the Open DNS servers from the DHCP page leaving it blank (the DNS forwarder is enabled) and everything works like a charm!!!

Thanx axscode!!!

Well done mate. maybe you can share with burken some of your notes.

Burken

I dont think the multiple wan is the problem.
I can just change so everyting goes out to the normal WAN interface.. I will still never get navigated to the login screen…

I have 192.168.0.1 as DNS server..

:(

mrvanity

One of the differences i see in your setup is that you use a wlan interface.
My LAN interface ends up to a structure of ~50 AP's.
If it is possible, try to use an ethernet AP and and test again..

Burken

I don't use WLAN.
GUEST is FastEthernet-RJ45 to my neighbors computer.
