      @Gertjan IDK why i put www.google.es and dont redirect but if i put 11.11.11.11 redirects to captive portal.

        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 ?

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

          @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 ) ?

              Added to what @free4 said ; use https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/captiveportal/captive-portal-troubleshooting.html

              Show us

              ipfw table all list
              

              and

              ipfw list
              

              (run these commands in the console)

              Here is mine (last command) :

              [2.4.4-RELEASE][admin@pfsense.brit-hotel-fumel.net]/root: ipfw list
              01000 skipto tablearg ip from any to any via table(cp_ifaces)
              01100 allow ip from any to any
              02100 pipe tablearg ip from any to any MAC table(cpzone1_pipe_mac)
              02101 allow pfsync from any to any
              02102 allow carp from any to any
              02103 allow ip from any to any layer2 mac-type 0x0806,0x8035
              02104 allow ip from any to any layer2 mac-type 0x888e,0x88c7
              02105 allow ip from any to any layer2 mac-type 0x8863,0x8864
              02106 deny ip from any to any layer2 not mac-type 0x0800,0x86dd
              02107 allow ip from any to table(cpzone1_host_ips) in
              02108 allow ip from table(cpzone1_host_ips) to any out
              02109 allow ip from any to 255.255.255.255 in
              02110 allow ip from 255.255.255.255 to any out
              02111 pipe tablearg ip from table(cpzone1_allowed_up) to any in
              02112 pipe tablearg ip from any to table(cpzone1_allowed_down) in
              02113 pipe tablearg ip from table(cpzone1_allowed_up) to any out
              02114 pipe tablearg ip from any to table(cpzone1_allowed_down) out
              02115 pipe tablearg ip from table(cpzone1_auth_up) to any layer2 in
              02116 pipe tablearg ip from any to table(cpzone1_auth_down) layer2 out
              02117 fwd 127.0.0.1,8003 tcp from any to any 443 in
              02118 fwd 127.0.0.1,8002 tcp from any to any 80 in
              02119 allow tcp from any to any out
              02120 skipto 65534 ip from any to any
              65534 deny ip from any to any
              65535 allow ip from any to any
              

              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 )

                Your image tells me : DNS does not work for your clients .... => Clients can not access DNS ..... see my message above.

                        The DNS Resolver has no setting here :

                        406a0ed3-d580-4f48-9602-234676a06bb5-image.png

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

                        Show us your general settings ?

                                  Your images shows no rules => captive portal in not activated.

                                          Even without the captive portal your DNS doesn't work.

                                          I propose that you reset pfSense to default.
                                          Don't touch LAN settings.
                                          Don't touch DHCP settings
                                          Don't touch firewall settings.
                                          Don't touch DNS settings.

                                          Then check with a PC (deboce) on LAN) that your connection is ok. Use a web browser, ping, a mail test, whatever.

                                          Then activate the portal.
