    @jimp :

    See image.
    When using

    Restart the GUI on this firewall: Select "Shell Command" and enter /etc/rc.restart_webgui

    as an action, then also all captive portal instances are restarted (see  /etc/rc.restart_webgui) , making this one :

    Restart a local captive portal instance: Select "Restart Local Service" and enter captiveportal zonename replacing zonename with the zone to restart.

    not needed.
    When used, the listed captive portal instances restart twice.

    Btw : not the fault of "acme" package, but take note : when a certificate gets renewed and the GUI gets restarted, all captive portal visitors will be thrown of the portals.

      A certificate may be used on a captive portal zone that is different from the GUI certificate. Someone might want to restart a portal zone but not the GUI.

        ;D
        That "someone" was me : a certificate for the portal.(mydomane.tld) and another certificate for pfsense.(mydomane.tld) hosted on another NIC.
        True, I could have combined these two into one certificate.

        These days I simplified maintenance, and I use a (one) wildcard cert.

        Btw : not related to acme :
        Restarting the GUI is completely harmless - I'm the only "user" anyway.
        Restarting the portal does have an impact as explained above.
