      @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.
