      hey,

      I'm looking for a way to create the following: guest network on opt1 with wifi. the wifi needs to be open but before anyone can use internet thy need to fill in a password on a website that comes up when connecting to the wifi.

      i already have the opt1 and the wifi but i cant figure out how to do the rest in pfsense. for now i have a password on the wifi but that eventually needs to be open …

      what is the best way to fix this?

        Captive portal with vouchers is probably closest to what you want. Sort of depends on whether your users already have an account somewhere that can be used by RADIUS/AD/LDAP or if they're strangers.

        A comprehensive network diagram is worth 10,000 words and 15 conference calls.
        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!
