Pfsense, No internet when it is said "You are connected".
-
Why should we need any testing? MTNet has 100 deployments and its happening on all of them ;) <rolleyes>
And the overwhelming amount of technical info provided should be enough... I mean it could be put into a book its so detailed..

Update :
I re applied the patch https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/pull/4042.diff (this is the "patch ID" I used).
/etc/inc/captiveportal.inc was complaing with one chunck (the 12th one) because in "master" there is a new function :
function captiveportal_reserve_ruleno($ruleno)
so I decides to make a backup of my /etc/inc/captiveportal.inc and and replace it with the master version ( https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pfsense/pfsense/master/src/etc/inc/captiveportal.inc ).Now, the patch applies perfectly well.
Great work !
Again : applied against "2.4.4-p3" with updated (current Master) /etc/inc/captiveportal.inc
tried this steps in 2.4.4-p3. patched works but the problem is the users who are logged already in captive portal are not displaying in the captive portal status (active users)? and in the services for captive portal users, numbers of users is 0. Have you encountered this?
right now I am using 2.3.2 version. waiting for the fix to the latest version of pfsense.
thanks!
-
Please be specific about what circumstances you are seeing that under. As far as I'm aware with that patch applied in 2.4.4p3 editing the captive portal and re-saving no-longer results in users logged in but unable to connect.
However there seems to be another set of reports here for the case in which users are falling into that situation without the captive portal having been edited. If that is happening the patch would likely not address that.Steve

( https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pfsense/pfsense/master/src/etc/inc/captiveportal.inc ).
what i did to fix the issue is i replace the original captiveportal.inc with the captiveportal.inc from "master" w/o patching using winSCP.
sorry for my english

can you check the captive portal status (active users), if connected users are showing and in the service for captive portal users, if numbers of users is 0. thanks!
-
So are you seeing that just happen spontaneously without editing the captive portal?

@dyobetem
yes the connected users are showing and in the service for captive portal users the number is not 0, again i did not run the patch using system patches [package] what i did is replacing the captiveportal.inc using winSCP.. im on latest version 2.4.4 p3, and im using a shellcmd package [captiveportal_disconnect_all.php] so that when you restart the pfsense all users disconnect and then re-login
sorry my english is not good

care to share that shellcmd package [captiveportal_disconnect_all.php] nad how to use that?. I want to try this also. as of now I am using 2.3.2 version of pfsense and I want to try the latest for my captive portal. thanks!
-
How is it we have people still on the 2.3 line - and not even the latest in that line?? That whole 2.3 line has been EOL and was warned about it for well over a year.
if anything why are you not on 2.3.5p2 ?
-
yeah its true that it has been EOL. maybe its just a personal preference for some of us to used that version (users using 2.3.2) and maybe some users don't want to upgrade :)
-
using the shellcmd and script is working perfectly after pfsense reboot. all connected users in captive portal are disconnected and need to login again. (this is for 2.4.4 p3 without replacing the captiveportal.inc (from master)
when i tried to replaced the captiveportal.inc it and reboot my pfsense and login again my voucher. voucher login success but its not diplaying the voucher i am using in my captive portal status and number of users connected is 0.
-
- proof that may captiveportal fix [pfsense 2.4.4 p3]
- edit captiveportal while users are login
- reboot pfsense and re-login [captive portal status and number of users connected is not 0]

that fix is using the php file (captiveportal_disconnect_all.php), and yes that is perfectly working after rebooting the pfsense.
how about the file (captiveportal.inc) that you replaced using the captiveportal.inc(master) in this link: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pfsense/pfsense/master/src/etc/inc/captiveportal.inc
when i tried that replacing via winscp. logged in captive portals is not showing in the captive portal status and no. of users is 0. you've post in this thread that you replaced it with a new captiveportal.inc from the said link.

Hey the patch work but when we have power cycle like if we manually take off the power and do power on than again its says that "You are connected"
-
Lucky you.
When you power cycle, you could also wind up having a bad file system. pfSense wouldn't even boot up correctly.When pfSense boots, the logged in user database will be cleared, which means : no users connected.
This was never a problem / worked as it should.
Seeing this message after booting is a complete new issue. Without further details it will remain unanswered. -
@Gertjan I have patched 2.4.4-P3 with your instructions and it successfully patched. and its working as desired. only problem i am getting is no connected user showing in captive portal status.
-
Be carefull, guys.
As I stated above, I use :
Again : applied against "2.4.4-p3" with updated (current Master) /etc/inc/captiveportal.inc
That file could have been changed, as it's part of the actual pfSense version in progress (upcoming 2.5.0). So, what worked back then, might not be doing so anymore.
Coping and replacing files, ok, but be ready and able to debug if needed.
(Or wait for an upcoming version to have it included) -

hello guys, really badly need your help. I'm running pfSense 2.4.4p3 on an XCP-ng hypervisor. I already enabled captive portal. And it redirects well to the CP's landing page whenever i connect my mobile device. Unfortunately there's still no internet connection after I logged in. Here's what I did so far:
XCP-ng:
- disabled interfaces (WAN/LAN) tx offloading.
pfSense 2.4.4p3
- defined DNS servers with corresponding gateways for my WAN & LAN.
- disabled DNS Resolver
- enabled DNS Forwarder
- enabled DNS override to disable localhost (127.0.0.1) as DNS server.
- enabled captive portal.
That's all i did so far. & followed Gertjan's solution. But still no luck.
Hope you can help me guys. If you still got tricks hidden in your sleaves... I will really be grateful if you can share to me to solve this problem of mine.
TIA.

@Gertjan hello my friend. I followed your instruction on how to troubleshoot this problem. But got no luck. Can you send me the captiveportal.inc you used so that i can test it in my system? I badly need your help.
TIA.
