          @Martí-Ferret sorry for my previous post, It was a mistake.

          • What happens when you try, as a not connected user, to perform an nslookup www.google.es in your console ? Are you receiving a reply? If yes, which one? The expected reply is the real IP address of google (captive portal should not interfere with DNS)
          • Could you show me an ipconfig /all of your workstation so that we could know your DNS/DHCP settings?

          Also, for the DHCP server...what is the DNS server that you entered? (your screenshot doesn't show that setting...)

            DNS resolver: https://imgur.com/a/1SFwXZ3

            Outgoing Network Interface : LAN ?
            Change to default (or all WAN) and you be doing better if not fine.
            (authoritative DNS server can not be found on your LAN)

            Edit : True : DNS has to bet set up correctly - and should work for your devices, even when not authenticated against the captive portal.

            Edit : and where are the logs ??

                  ICMP (= ping) won't work if not authenticated.

                  DNS Resolving should work.

                  pfSense = 10.0.0.2 ? Ok, why not, but why not 10.0.0.1 ?

                                When you install pfSense, you setup WAN (if needed) and you change nothing, the captive portal works.
                                Ok if you change 192.168.1.0/24 for 10.0.0.0/24.

                                My firewall rules on LAN :
                                7c21ad2d-1990-4a7f-ad1c-a751d10d90eb-image.png

                                with these rules, you're ok?
                                ( but such rules are mayne not ok for a Captive portal - just ok to start with )

                                        Afterwards, you can - and you should - adapt.
                                        All depends on what type off public you have on your captive portal.
                                        Familly ? You'll be fine?
                                        Public network ? You should NOT activate the captive portal on your LAN, use a dedicated interface (OPT1) and depreciated rules.
                                        For an example, I show you my firewall rules on my captive portal (a public portal - untrusted visitors) :

                                        d8e43528-5ccf-4327-a8f6-0fc19bdf3743-image.png

                                          @Gertjan IDK why i put www.google.es and dont redirect but if i put 11.11.11.11 redirects to captive portal.
                                          Before to configurate rules I want to get automatically redirected to captive portal not only if i put ip on URL

                                            Test this :

                                            Disconnect all captive portal users (tricky, you are on LAN - you will disconnect yourself).
                                            At this moment, a "nslookup" should work.
                                            In other words : DNS should not be blocked
                                            If 10.0.0.2 is your DNS and gateway, DNS request will be passed. DNS will work.

                                            If not : what did you change concerning DNS ?
