      @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 )

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

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

              @Martí-Ferret maybe you still have captive portal enabled?

                    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.
