      Hi all,

      I want to provide a hotspot for a small park.  I would like to have a CP page so that the user can agree to terms.  After that i would like it to block access to porn and gambling.

      I have a setup of
      PFsense 2.3.2

      I was able to get the Cp working, but i am unable to get the filtering to work with the CP.  Has anyone successfully gotten this to work?  If the filtering and Cp were on 2 different boxes, would that work?

        What you need is squid/squidguard and/or dansguardian to act as a proxy. Firewall rules alone won't address this issue.

          That is the problem, when i install squid/squidguard the Captive portal internet stops working.  if i disable the Cp it works fine.  When i enable the Cp and disable the squid/squidguard this stops working.  I cant have both of them working at the same time.

            I assume its not possible to have a web filer squid/squidguard and Captive Portal enabled on the same PFSense box.  I guess i will use OpenDNS for the webfilter.

              A couple of inches lower on this page pfSense Forum » pfSense English Support » Captive Portal (that is, where you posted) you will find this pfSense 2.3.2: Captive Portal + Non Transparent Squid3.

                Both Cp and squid together  works perfectly on pfsense . I used it , Additional Squidgaurd module need to be added

                only https  filtering is not  working . If you Use Man in middle with squid proxy then you can filter https  ( Which is in available with squid 3 , For that you have to purchase Certificate) .

                  Purchasing a certificate does nothing to help SSL MITM. You have to create a CA and install that CA as trusted on all client devices.

                  Not really any way to do that in a hotspot environment, nor should you want to have a CA installed on all your random clients.

                  DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

                        I also want to block gambling.

                        First, you wanted to share some of your bandwidth with 'other people', and some how control the way how they access it.
                        That's where a captive portal comes in handy.

                        Then , the "wanting" thing stops, because it's useless.

                        What if I used some one's captive portal - for example : yours.
                        Right after I connected, I could go to my favourite drugs, weapons, gambling, porn and other extremist site. I could even download the latest wiki-leaks.
                        I activated my VPN ..... you being able to see nothing. Never.
                        Trying to stop people from gambling has to be solved another way.
                        Your only choice will be : go back to the beginning, and stop sharing your bandwidth.
