                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 ?

                              @Martí-Ferret Your problem is coming from your DNS server, it's not related to the captive portal or to your firewall rules.

                              Few things :

                              • Use the "DNS Resolver" in pfSense. The DNS forwarder is a legacy option.
                              • What DNS server are you using for your pfSense appliance (in System->General Settings) ? Could you check that your pfSense can correctly ping this IP and that a DNS server is enabled on this IP?
                              • Could you verify your ACL in the DNS resolver settings? What are the logs of your pfSense when you try to resolve a random domain name using DNSSEC ( fbi.gov ) and not using DNSSEC ( kcna.kp ) ?

                                  The first 9 (nine) rules are not important here (they let through IPv4=>DHCP, etc)
                                  These :

                                  02107 allow ip from any to table(cpzone1_host_ips) in
                                  02108 allow ip from table(cpzone1_host_ips) to any out
                                  

                                  are very important.
                                  They let through DNS requests. Always.
                                  " cpzone1_host_ips " is 192.18.2.1 is my pfSense portal interface = gateway = DNS access.
                                  Yours should be 10.0.0.2 ( see ipfw table all list )

                                            The DNS Resolver has no setting here :

                                            You should NOT change (add, what ever) anything here.
                                            (no "8.8.8.8" to start with)

                                            Show us your general settings ?
