      dear all,

      i am running captive portal pfsense 2.4.4, my problem is i have checked the "Disable Concurrent user logins" and "Enable Pass-through MAC automatic additions" in Services>captive portal>configuration" so that only one login per voucher will be active and mac address stores in "Services>captive portal>mac" but now i am facing problem that voucher is active and shown at "status>captive portal>active voucher"
      but some macs automatically removed form the "Services>captive portal>mac"

      this problem only occur after update to 2.4.4

        .... now i am facing problem that voucher is active and shown at "status>captive portal>active voucher"

        A voucher is shown active during the duration of the voucher.
        What do you mean, vouchers stay activate after the duration ?

        but some macs automatically removed form the "Services>captive portal>mac"
        this problem only occur after update to 2.4.4

        When (after how long) do they dissapear ? What do you see in the captive portal log at that moment ?

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

          one voucher is used on multiple devices even if i have checked "Disable Concurrent user logins" and "Enable Pass-through MAC automatic additions"

          i want to enforce one voucher on one same device. everything was fine on 2.4.3-1 but after update this happen..

            Make vouchers last for a minute, or less ;)
            User won't be able to activate it on a "another" device.

            The "Disable Concurrent user logins" will destroy the session used by de first device - only the last device will gave a session.
            Bur "Enable Pass-through MAC automatic additions" will make keep device on the PASS-MAC list.

              you are right @Gertjan expire voucher can't be used again but the active voucher are real problem i have checked already enable pass-through mac automatic additions.
              before everything was ok but problem arises after update to 2.4.4

              @Gertjan my voucher are for 30 days. for example i put voucher in one device it has access and internet start working but if i put the same voucher in other device mac of 1st device is removed and mac of 2nd device added to captive portal. internet stop on 1st device.

              what if i unchecked "Disable Concurrent user logins" ??

                  @gertjan said in MAC Removed:

                  "Enable Pass-through MAC automatic additions"

                  Uncheck "Enable Pass-through MAC automatic additions"
                  It doesn't work with "Disable Concurrent user logins because earlier authorized devices keep an access.

                  Btw :

                  @ishtiaqaj said in MAC Removed:

                  my voucher are for 30 days

                  Such a delay doesn't make sense with "Enable Pass-through MAC automatic additions".

                        @Gertjan @Derelict, how can this happen one voucher on two devices at same time even if enable pass-through mac is checked..

                        and when i checked disable concurent user login and enable pass-through mac then most recent login is active means one voucher work on multiple device in 2.4.4 and 2.4.5 snapshot also
