      @free4 Thanks, I read the links. Unfortunately the procedure is too complex for my technical level and my lack of knowledge of English.
      I will keep my sg1100 that is not working... ☹ ☹ ☹ ☹ ☹

        Again : as long as you - and everybody else, doesn't safe and/or modify Captif Portal settings, the ipfw firewall doesn't get restarted, and thus you will not be bothered by this error.

        Btw : this has been de classified as being rocket science :

        Install the package called "System patches" :

        9431ccf9-f399-4cdf-8472-ccd020772da8-image.png

        You will have now a new menu option in the system menu :

        7422efb2-3033-45e5-8e63-9ec6059fa960-image.png

        Click on it, and click on the green button :

        86311874-68a3-4622-be0b-389d7f48597e-image.png

        Now read this port - everything after the "EDIT : Netgate decided to ..." text https://forum.netgate.com/topic/137824/pfsense-no-internet-when-it-is-said-you-are-connected/13

        Use this URL as "URL/Commit ID" :
        https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/compare/RELENG_2_4_4...Augustin-FL:fix-reconfig-for-2-4-4.diff

        (hint : copy and past it).

        The description : type in whatever you want.

        Don't fill in or touch any other options.
        Just click the blue save button at the bottom.

        Now for the difficult part :
        Click on the blue Fetch button.

        The action should show you this message :

        e9d597b9-73d3-40d5-bae7-0cf83dae3973-image.png

        Click on the blue Test button.

        You should see this message :

        412c87e1-1a7e-4a79-8a92-e629cbf88b94-image.png

        Now, click on the blue Apply button.
        You should see this message :

        cab15c01-d12b-4b8a-9726-4b55ba210ad4-image.png

        Now, disconnect all Captive portal users.

        3a8fbf9d-2f8a-4f0e-9ce2-57096ff1f19d-image.png

        Done.

        Ok, I admit, the cut and paste of the Commit URL was probably the most difficult thing after all ;)

        Edit : and where are the logs ??

                  @Gertjan Hi I think everything went well, yet one more thing, after disconnecting all users I have to restart pfsense or is it enough to restart the captive portal? Tanks

                    @ilarioQ after disconnecting all users, you don't need to do anything else

                    you can just use the portal normally now! the issue should not happen anymore

                        @free4 it seems issue is still there even after applying the patch. though its not the same as before where all changes to CP makes the issue. now a matter of 2 reboot issue came back "you are connected"

                          Users that are still connected after a reboot ?
                          That's not related to the bug we are talking about in this thread.
                          Have a look at this https://forum.netgate.com/topic/137824/pfsense-no-internet-when-it-is-said-you-are-connected/102

                            @Gertjan yes and when you look at status > system logs you will see user disconnect (this time it was just me for testing) but if you look at status > captive portal, you will see user is still connected. this is after applying the patch. no other services aside from a fresh install pf and CP

                              Again : the patch for the "you are connected" bug described here (and in many other threads) works.

                              When users 'seem' to be connected after a reboot - that is, they are listed on the Status page - and they can't / didn't login after the rebbot, then do this ( https://forum.netgate.com/topic/137824/pfsense-no-internet-when-it-is-said-you-are-connected/102 ) which is a totally different bug (captive portal connected users database is not deleted). The solution is : add 4 key strokes ($g, ") as described .
                              The problem exists. The solution also. Case closed ^^.

                                @chanrio13 Could you "revert" the patch then "re-fetch" it then "apply" it again?

                                I noticed a mistake in the patch regarding reboots (sorry for that, you are actually the first one to report me an issue with this patch...).

                                I corrected it.
