Simple Captive Portal Config not Loading Login Page
-
I've had a captive portal working for a few years for guest access but it has suddenly broken. My access points are using a second SSID on vlan 1003. I have a Guest interface set up at 192.168.4.1. My LAN is at 192.168.2.1. If I disable the captive portal, connections to my guest network are allowed internet access. I believe the only change I've made since this last worked was to upgrade to 2.3, then the maintenance upgrades after that.
I believe the issue lies with serving up the page or accessing port 8002. The clients get IP addresses on the 192.168.4.x network. Using the utility in pfSense I can ping Google and Yahoo from the Guest network as well so I don't believe it is a DNS issue. When a guest connects, it appears the redirect works but the captive portal login page never loads. Manually typing in the captive portal address of 192.168.4.1:8002 doesn't load. If I'm on the LAN network, I can manually enter 192.168.2.1:8002 and see the login page. I do have firewall rules blocking the guest clients from access to the web gui, but specifically on ports 80 and 443. I tried disabling these just in case with no luck.
The only packages I have installed are mailreport, OpenVPN Client Export, and RRD Summary.
I attached my current captive portal config and guest network firewall rules. There's nothing set on any of the other tabs in the CP config. Normally I severely limit the guest bandwidth and use a custom login page. I actually deleted my old CP config and started over just in case.
I appreciate any pointers. Not sure where else to look.

Yeah that looks like it should be working. What did you upgrade from?

I forget what the last version I had was before 2.3 but it wouldn't have been more than 1-2 releases old as I generally stay pretty current. I am current right now.

Hi Matt
For me, I'm updated from 2.2.6 to 2.3.1 then captive portal was failed.
I try install a fresh 2.3.1 on other machine and re-config captive portal it working, but I still waiting for the solution :'( :'( -
No known issues here. Works fine. I guess the next thing to do would be a packet capture on the GUEST interface then attempt a CP load. Not sure what else to suggest.

Well call me dumb. Didn't think about the fact that I recently replaced my old Apple Airport Extreme's with Ubiquiti AC Lites. Even though I didn't configure any guest restrictions or the captive portal there, I had marked the guest WLAN as a guest network. Somehow the two are trampling each other. I reconfigured the guest WLAN as a normal WLAN in the Unifi controller and now everything is fine. I think it was working when I installed the Ubiquiti gear and broke when I upgraded to 2.3, because I'm pretty sure I tested the guest network then.

For Me, I just fixed by changing the DNS from 8.8.8.8 to ISP's DNS.

Something (your ISP ?) is blocking Google's DNS ;)

Or 8.8.8.8 not being passed by the captive portal config.
