      im not being able to redirect to my captive portal page

      **services > captive portal > interface > OPT3

      authentication > local user manager

      save!**

      these are the only config that i have in this interface.

      i can obtain IP, but when i browse, it doest redirect me to the portal login page.

      is this a bug?.

        Hi there.

        Things are missing in your question.
        Did you add a user to the User manager ?
        The portal service is activated and setup (you selected the right interface for the portal, right setup ?) ?

        Are you using https sites when surfing through the portal without being authenticated first (try http://www.google.com  NOT https://www.goolge.com) ?
        When you 'browse' without being authenticated, do you actually surf on the net - or not ?

        Yes, this is a huge bug. Using OLD versions isn't never a good idea.
        And … actually, it had a nasty bug in the portal code that had to be patched ..... You did that ?
        Anyway. Please, upgrade.

        edit: lol http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,63157.0.html the solution was already there a while ago.
        This is important:
        @wallabybob:

        Which build of pfSense are you using?

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          Where are you browsing to? There are known issues in Captive portal with browsing to https pages.

          What does it do?

            Maybe you are using external DNS, which you should add to "Allowed IP addresses" in Captive settings?
            Try browsing any IP address instead of hostname - 1.1.1.1 for example.
