Dude what is your not understanding about the configuration of captive portal.. So your not using anything else like proxy or snort. You just have out of the box clean install of pfsense, dhcp clients using pfsense as their gateway, lan rules any any. clients using pfsense for dns while dns is just using unbound as resolver.
And everything works - but when you turn on CP it doesn't work? This really is click click..
Here I enabled cp on 1 of my wifi networks, on the wlan interface in pfsense, created a user gave it captive portal permissions
The really only thing other than selecting enable in captive portal and picking the interface(s) you want it to listen on is picking the auth.. So here I set it to use local users, created a local user and gave it permissions to use cp. I then tried to go to www.cnn.com on box on that network and get redirected to login page. I auth, you can see pfsense shows it authed, and on the client I get my website I originally asked for.
If it takes you say more than 30 seconds to get a basic cp up and running and tested your doing something WRONG.. But without knowing what you did and what is happening or not happening its impossible to help you find what that something is.

so the firewall rules should not block anything. What is happening exactly when a CP user tries to connect to the internet? Can you provide some more details?
-
ipfw (not pf) is placed in the stream and it redirects connections to any:80 to cp_interface:8002 where an nginx instance returns the portal page.
Upon successful login an IP/MAC pair is placed in an ipfw table (Status / Captive Portal / testcp image above) that passes traffic so it is no longer redirected to the portal page.
After that, normal pf LAN rules apply.

Can you provide some more details?
This has been taken care of a long time ago.

The firewall rules "ipfw" redirect all http requests to the internal web sever that displays the login page IF the user's device hasn't been granted access already.If a user's device has been granted access, the firewall rules accessible in the GUI determine what happens.
edit : great : I'm actually saying the same thing as Derelict.
