Captive portal will not redirect to portal page
-
Assign different addresses on the same subnet to your interfaces.

I need to back up a bit….
When you posted about how it should be at 8002 and not 8000 i was still on pfSense 2.1.5. I didnt realize until after I posted my last post. so i did the upgrade (which i lost my squid proxy and content filter, but whatever - was still in trial mode anyways)
So now that I am upgraded to latest and greatest. I deleted all my captive portal instances and started a fresh one on a OPTx interface. I enable it. It lets me go right to the url i want to go to without going to the redirect page. i also tried 172.16.255.2:8002/login.php i get nothing.
So confused
-
Are you behind another router?
Anything in any of the passthroughs? (IP, Hostname, MAC?)
Any users listed in Status > Captive Portal??
Instead of saying what you think you did, how about posting what you've actually done. Interface config, portal config, firewall rules, etc.

Ok, forget about my OPTx interfaces, i have another issue with that.
So I set up captive portal back on my lan interface again and it redirects me to the captive portal page. however, when i enter a username and password and click continue it just reloads the portal page as if i entered in the username and password wrong. i have captive portal set to no authentication. Any help?
I am getting somewhere thanks to your help, just need a lot of hand holding. ;D

If your browser thinks it's going to the portal page URL, that will happen. It might also try to redirect you to the page you attempted. There is a lot to be desired regarding pfSense's CP handling of this.
- After you log in, is there an IP/MAC entry in Status > Captive Portal??
- After you log in, if you manually enter an outside URL, does it work?
If you always want to be redirected after login regardless, use the After authentication Redirection URL in the captive portal settings.
I would like to see much better handling of the originally attempted URL. It'd also be nice to have some way to redirect things like the Apple test URLs to something sane too.
I have looked at the code and got scared away.
In general it works well enough.
-
After I log in, yes there is a IP/MAC entry.
After I log in, if i manually enter an outside url, no, it does not work.I tried using the after uthentication redirection url - when i logged in, it reloaded the portal page but it changed the redirurl to what it should be.
thoughts?
-
"Does not work" gives us nothing to go on.
Post your config. You probably don't have firewall rules for DNS, or wrong DNS servers, or no firewall rules allowing traffic out, or no NAT rules, or ??. With what we have it'd just be a guess. Did you go through the list in the link above?
-
This use to work before so not sure what happened.
when i say does not work, i mean that it will go back to the portal page if i enter an outside url.
how do i post config? just post the whole xml?
-
Screen shots are probably better. You have something hosed if you get a captive portal entry for the correct IP/MAC pair and keep getting redirected to the portal page when you enter other URLs. How about just ping? Can you ping, say, 8.8.8.8 after logging in?
-
I cant ping 8.8.8.8 after logging into captive portal. what screen shots would you want? thanks again.
-
Captive portal, LAN, LAN Rules, outbound NAT, DHCP Server.
-
… added to that: what services are running ? (Status => Services) - logs extracts from Stats => System logs => Portal Auth and DHCP (all lines that are related to the Portail Interface - you can remove the others)
-
If this is squid again I give up.
-
I attached screenshots, hopefully this helps. i am not using dhcp on pfsense.
-
And if you open a browser after authentication and enter www.cnn.com from host 04:7d:7b
1c:7f / 172.16.1.184 you get the portal page again?Let me spin up a quick captive portal on "pfSense B" LAN (diagram in the sig) and see what's what.

Works fine here.

Correct, I get the login page again and i cant ping anything.
any suggestions?
-
Sorry. No idea. What's the output of those commands on your system when a client is connected? SSH or Diagnostics > Command Prompt.
-
Wait a second…
Why do you have so many 172.16.0.0 subnets in your NAT entries? Are all those /24 networks other interfaces? If so, they all conflict with 172.16.1.2/16 you have defined on LAN.
-
Yes, they are vlan interfaces I set up so i can use captive portal on a certain vlan interface. that was the whole point. but now it won't even run correctly on LAN interface.
So, are you saying I should make the 172.16.1.2/16 -> 172.16.1.2/24 for my lan? in order to resolve this issue?
And If I do that, am I going to have to add some rules for my other subnets to work properly?
