Captive Portal: Which alternative to a bridge?
-
Hi all,
I have seen that this topic was repeated frequently in the forum.
We have a subnet and want that our WLAN-devices join that subnet. The access should controlled by captive portal. In the controlled subnet is an access point which we use for DHCP. The address range of this access point has special rights. Other access points and their address range which will connected in future to pfsense must not have this special rights. The subnet of these address ranges has to be the same like on the pfsense WAN side.
The only possible way for a big subnet, which I have found, is to use the bridge mode but than does captive portal not work.
Is there a way to give both interfaces different IPs but in the same subnet?Or can we create a subnet between access points and pfsense and another subnet which is the same like pfsense WAN side and the dhcp range on the access points? Possible I could do this with special routing entries?
Do you need a picture or is it understandable?

Hi,
A picture is worth a thousand words ;). So, yes please post a network diagram.
