Captive Portal in Transparent mode on WAN

snzero · Sep 7, 2011, 10:14 AM

Hi,

I am looking at putting a captive portal in on the perimeter of a multi-vlan network. The network has a Cisco ASA doing all the vlan routing (there are approximately 100 vlans).

Would it be possible to put in a pfsense captive portal between the outside interface of our ASA and our internet gateway router. The pfsense box would need 1 public IP for sure but would I be able to use do this as a bump-in-the-wire solution?

Thanks

I don't see any problems if the vlan tag is removed by asa

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. How would I go about this configuration? How do I configure the pfsense box to be transparent?

Thanks

Captive Portal does not work in transparent mode (layer2 bridge), you have to setup pfsense as a gateway & use pfsense DNS forwarding for Captive Portal to work.
