simple question, how can I disable the captive portal in some of my network devices, like videogame consoles, my linux server and even some mobiles devices.
the idea is make it just for guest users, the local users, computes and videogame consoles are login free… -

What about the user manual at https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Captive_Portal - it states cleary :
Pass-Through MAC Tab
Allows managing a list of MAC addresses which are allowed to bypass the portal.
When specified by MAC address in this way, the client's IP address may change and they will still be allowed through. However, the client will still be disconnected after the captive portal timeout period has elapsed.
Allowed IP addressesAllows managing a list of IP addresses which can either:
Always connect from behind the portal (clients)
Always allow clients to an IP address (external servers)These IP addresses will bypass the portal authentication in the direction specified.
