Hi,

See the manual : first paragraph, first line :
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/book/captiveportal/troubleshooting-captive-portal.html

This is most commonly a DNS failure. If the firewall is not used for DNS,.......

Static DHCP leases and Captive portal usage isn't a problem, although very unusual.

@gertjan thanks any suggestions please

Yeah. Add 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 to the Allowed IP Addresses in your captive portal configuration.
