Can't see Captive portal login page

KaruK

Hello everyone, a newbie to pfSense, so please be gentle :)

I installed pfSense 2.3.2 64-bit to one pc which have 2 network interfaces.
I configured WAN and LAN interfaces, DHCP (works only for opt1 interface), DNS (enabled as DNS forwarder).
Also I created on VLAN interface (opt1 - 192.168.12.1/24).

I also configured a Level 3 switch for connecting pfSense pc and test pc's.
I also created firewall rules for LAN and OPT1

Then I tested Internet connection over VLAN interface. I got right IP address (192.168.12.30) from DHCP and
internet connection works well. I can read difference webpages.

Now I configured captive portal (uses opt1 interface), users and vouchers.
When I opened my browser (homepage is http://www.google.com) - I only see message - cannot open webpage..ˇ
I checked that I got right IP address (192.168.12.30) from DHCP.

I used IE and Google Chrome browsers but I didn't see captive portal login page.

I checked the conf but I don't discovered something wrong.
Should I create my own login page? I understood that pfSense has its own built-in webpage for logging via captive portal.
Or did I something wrong?

Can someone clarify this for me

@KaruK:

What was the IP-DNS you got ?
Gateway ?
(both should be 192.168.30.1 == OPT1 = "pfSEnse").

You really deactivated the pfSEnse DHCP-server from LAN ?

From DHCP I got:
IP: 192.168.12.30
IP-DNS - 8.8.8.8
Gateway - 192.168.12.1

I didn't see any reason for why I must use DHCP for LAN interface. It has static IP address 192.168.30.10.
I want to use VLAN 12 for quests. I don't want they use net 192.168.30.0/24 resources.
Interface OPT1
192.168.12.1 / 24
DHCP server range 192.168.12.30 to 12.254

Interface LAN
192.168.30.10 / 24

Interface WAN

192.168.0.219 / 24
Gateway 192.168.0.1

Do you mean that VLAN users must get gateway address 192.168.30.10 from dhcp server?
If I use VLAN 12 without captive portal all work perfectly.

@KaruK:

IP-DNS - 8.8.8.8

and this IP is allowed to pass through (udp and tcp) ont the OPT1 (captive portal) interface ?

Normally, you should use the DNS resolver (not forwarder) on the pfSense box. So your clients would see 192.168.12.1 as a gateway and DNS server.
This DNS server (pfSense) will be your "DNS cache" and he will ask 'above' if needed - even 8.8.8.8 (Google) if you instructed it to do so.
This means : no settings to change, the captive portal works 'out of the box'.

Gateway LAN : nothing to do with your question, but why change the default value (192.168.1.1) to .10 ?
(never understood why people change that value, it's .1 or .254 - never something in the middle - it your gateway after all.)

Thank you Gertjan

It seems that reconfiguring DNS (forwarder –> resolver) and removing 8.8.8.8 helped.
Problem is solved.
