      Hello, all PFSense enthusiasts and gurus.

      Attached it's my Interfaces and CP Service status screenshots, I've configured 6 Interfaces OPT1-OPT6 and enabled a CP for each one.

      I can access the CP on OPT1 but the others not.
      I've configured firewall rules for each OPT - Screenshot Attached

      I've tried many things but I haven't been able to get the 6 CP working in this PFSense box.

      can someone help me to get light on how to get all CP working?

      Thanks in advance.

        Hi,

        No guru here  ;)
        Image 1 and 2 seem ok - nothing really to see actually.
        But rule 3 : WAN_DHCP as a gateway ? I haven't set 'nothing'.

        Do you see the login page ? Login User defined ? They have the 'rights' to visite the captive portal ?

        Added to that : after reading https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Captive_Portal_Troubleshooting : first issue : people mess up DNS.
        They leave the perfect DNS Resolver to switch to the DNS forwarder with exotic settings.
        Better : FreeRadius + MySQL. Or better is : make portal work with local user authorization, and build up from there.
        Then there are those with roque AP points.
        VLAN mess … (not your issue probably).
        DHCP server on each OPTx is ok ? (pool, etc)
        So, client receive an IP, Gateway and DNS (last 2 should be the IP of the OPTx network - so 192.168.y.1)
        Client can resolve  ;D

        Tour turn.

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

            Multiple CPs work fine.

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

              Thanks to all for yours replies

              I found out what was my BIG FAULT  :D

              CP are assigned ports increasing by 2

              8002, 8004,8006 and so on.

              connecting to:

              http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8002
              http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8004, etc

              Solved my problem
