      i have captive portal running with freeRadius2 on pfsense 2.3.2.
      The problem is it that a specific user mac keeps logging in multiple times.
      when i check the captive portal status on my dashboard i can see the mac address is logged in multiple times.

      What could be causing this. The user is using an android phone.

          I haven't gotten to freeradius yet, I am lurking though.

          Did you really check your cables?

              I spoke to a friend about it and he said radius can be more trouble than it's worth.

              FWIW

              I wanted to use it to supplement port security so I could rule out shenanigans of people plugging in to areas with no physical restrictions.

              Your issue pertains to WIFI- I don't think I'd use radius on the guest network.

              If it's an employee - hmm IDK are you using enterprise wpa?

              Did you really check your cables?
