I can't get Captive Portal login page in any browser else Firefox

I still have CP failing to work normally.

I need CP with transparent Squid and squidguard, I need CP so squidguard can get the User name to select the group policy instead on general policy.

I am desperate, please help.

This seems a feature request to me.
I advise you to have a look over here Post a bounty

According to this threads what I want seems a posible thing:

https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=74309.0
https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=74572.0

Squid has CP as Authentication selection so this should work.

But if CP is not working obviously it can be done.

I just want to make CP work first. What I see is that it takes a genius to make CP work.

I'm using pfSense because it has a Captive portal.
I'm using it for my work, an hotel.
It works perfectly for meany years now. Check it yourself : https://www.test-domaine.fr/munin/brit-hotel-fumel.net/pfsense.brit-hotel-fumel.net/portalusers.html

Btw : never used "transparent Squid and squidguard" - I do not know what that is, neither why I should use it.
I'm a fan of keeping things simple.

Btw2 : I'm working at a hotel …. so I can do many things, but being a "genius" isn't among them - neither are my clients ;)

I am sure that CP works in thousands of installations, but in mine is broken. I need help to fix it.

Using CP with Squid and squidguard is a matter for other thread. I removed squid from my installed packages before asking for help to eliminate the complications for now.

But the problem persists and I dont know what to do. I already apply the last pfsense update.

I think that I found the problem.

The DNS server was blocked by CP. I added the DNS IP to the allowed IP list and now the clients are calling CP successfully on all browsers every time. Only one glitch remains and that is another thread. Clients work but not the Server.

Hello

thank you

…..
Shell Output - ipfw -x 2 table all list
....
---table(100)---
192.168.56.1/32 0

Note: the pfsense IP is 192.168.56.1/24, don't know why table(100) has 192.168.56.1/32

Because this is THE DNS (and gateway) exposed to the visitors - it better should be open so info directed to it (TCP, UDP as DNS) passes to the portal.
Without it, all breaks down.

Your DNS is not pfSense but some domain controller. Ok - seems possible to me, and in that case it's IP (the DNS) should be on the "Ok -> pass list", tab 2 or 3 off the Captive portal settings page.
DNS resolution, when connected to the captive portal network, before authenticating, should work.
And : your clients should obtain this IP when doing a DHCP request.

edit :

–-table(3)---
192.168.56.0/24 2000
---table(4)---
192.168.56.0/24 2001

Styrange to see a network range here …. I always saw IP's a.b.c.d/32

Important : 2.4.2 uses a new ipfw : commands have been changed.
Instead of something like

ipfw -x zone1 table all list

you just use :

ipfw table all list

Like :

cpzone1_auth_up and cpzone1_auth_down contain the info from the devices used by clients:visitors actually logged in - 5 in this case.

cpzone1_allowed_up and cpzone1_allowed_down contains IP's of the addresses I entered my self on the related tabs on the captive portal setup page. These have access / are accessible without portal authentication.
Note : 192.168.2.2 - 192.168.2.3 -192.168.2.4 are my AP's

Table cpzone1_pipe_mac is contains the MAC of a guy I gave direct access without using any authentication.

Table cpzone1_host_ips should contain the DNS server for my clients/visitors.

Btw : names of tables also changed :
