Allow certain domains through captive portal
-
At the moment I am using captive portal and voucher system to let my guests on the restaurants wifi. I would like to add the feature below and I cannot seem to find some info on how to do that, so I would be grateful for any help.
I would like to give everyone an access to my wifi without typing in the voucher but only allow my domain i.e. my website through the captive portal. How would I go about this? I am thinking firewall. Would the guest still be presented with captive portal page or not?
Someone shed some light :) Thank you!

So you want everybody to be able to browse your website and nothing else from www and this to happen transparent ?
Have a look at Allowed Hostnames panel and Allowed IP addresses and also at:
Pre-authentication redirect URL & After authentication Redirection URL
from main settings, maybe you can edit only captiveportal-index.html page to redirect to your vebsite page index.and maybe you will not have to redirect any other traffic to your website IP / name via firewall/NAT rules.

Yes ^^ Allowed hostnames and allowed IP addresses in the portal config
Note that allowed hostnames doesn't look at the actual URL request like a proxy. It only periodically resolves the name and populates a table of IP addresses so you have to include all hostnames referenced by the pages you're loading and hostnames that they reference, etc..
This is commonly called a "Walled Garden."

Thank you guys for quick response. I've been playing with the options for a while and it kinda works.
I've added my domain to the allowed hostnames. The website has links to google map and restaurants facebook page but I cannot allow those two or else I will be giving them access to surf either of these freely (right?).
So the part that is not working is redirection to the restaurant website before CP page. I would like to redirect guests to my website right away and only if they want to leave my garden I would present them with the CP page asking them to input their voucher. I set the Pre-authentication redirection url to http://www.salas-ostrazica.com and it doesn't work. At the moment I am still using the default pfsense captive portal page tho. Furthermore I also tried to upload my own html page changing $PORTAL_REDIRURL$ to www.salas-ostrazica.com and it didn't work. I got redirected to www.salas-ostrazica.com after the authentication.
However the after authentication redirection url works perfectly with the default CP page. What variable holds the value for redirection before authentication?
