      I'm trying to make our Captive Portal Zone names the same across the board. I don't want to delete and re-create it due to the walled-garden and MAC bypasses that I would have to re-enter. Anyone know if there is a way to rename the zone name?

      Thanks!

        The quick method ?
        Of course.

        One in a while you made a backup of your pfSense system, right ?
        Open such a xml file, and have a look. The structure is very easy to understand.
        De-activate all your captive portal zone files.
        Export a backup.
        Open and edit the file - find the location where your "zones" are stored, edit their names.
        Import the xml file back in (or better : import only the captive portal section).
        Active your portal zones.
        Done.

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??
