      I have deployed pfsense in a college.It is using squid to block websites (porn) and using captive portal.Around 200 users listed. Is there any way to backup username and password from user manager? No radius server is used.

        They should be in the config. Download a backup and check with you favourite editor.

        You should really think about syncing with your active directory…. Makes things a lot easier.

            It is saved in the ordinary pfSense config. Just make sure to do regular backup of the config - Diagnostics->Backup & Restore

            When you have backed up, use at text editor to look in the file you backed up. Search for user names and check they are there.

            As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."
