Is it possible?

could someone teach me how to layout properly my network?

I'm doing this: ISP(internet) > (built-in lan) > old pc(with pfsense) > (external lan) > wifi-router(with dd-wrt) > laptop

I set my built-in lan as wan interface and external lan as lan interface

pfsense has blank lan when I start it up… please help me so that I'll be able to browse its gui and to enable the captive portal

@Amethz:

quick question, can I watch cached videos using wifi on pfsense without buffering it or this is applicable only on wired?

Strange question.
"Videos"that only work when the connection si wired ?
So when there is Wifi (radio) or Optical (fibre) in the path, there are problems ?
Never heard about that one.

Better stick to 'normal' devices and setup ;D

Perhaps they need the mighty Denon cable? :D ;D :D

it is possible that I'll be the one who will assign voucher codes for pfsense?

Derelict · Sep 16, 2015, 6:46 AM

What?

Amethz · Sep 16, 2015, 6:49 AM

I'm the one who will generate the voucher codes not the pfsense

Derelict · Sep 16, 2015, 7:07 AM

Not that I know of. There's crypto involved that has to match up. Why not let pfSense do it? You can generate hundreds if not thousands at a time. Take them, put them in a database, print cards, whatever, and hand them out by whatever means works for you.

Amethz · Sep 16, 2015, 7:15 AM

Our adviser suggested that, so I asked if it's possible… thanks anyway :)

I'm planning to install the squid 3, is there any conflict between that and captive portal?.. what other package/s I should install to make my pfsense more useful? TIA

Gertjan · Sep 19, 2015, 2:52 PM

"Squid 3": don't know.
"squid" was (is ?) breaking the portal - see the many (even more) subjects on this forum.
YMMF.

another question, I set the dhcp range on lan to 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.10
why is that some IPs connected to my lan is 192.168.1.100 and up?

Gertjan · Sep 20, 2015, 7:11 AM

Another DHCP server (on LAN) ?
Static IP setting used by clients ?

You saw the pfSense DHCP server logs ?

could I specify what's the error on voucher code?..

1st: this voucher is being used by other device
2nd: invalid voucher code (when they enter a wrong code)
3rd: expired voucher (when there's no remaining time left)

Gertjan · Sep 21, 2015, 8:51 PM

@Amethz:

1st: this voucher is being used by other device

See GUI -> Captive portal -> Vouchers
" If the voucher is used again from another computer, the previous session is stopped. "
If some one passes his voucher code to some one else, he will loose the usage of it.
So, don't worry, no one will 'loose' his voucher code.
