        hello friends I have a problem because I have a computer with two interfaces the WAN and the LAN because in the WAN I do not have the RJ45 cable even with internet access, what I wish to do is the following, redirect all DNS requests to the captive portal , I clarify that physical addresses such as 1.1.1.1 redirect without problems but when I run www.google.com I just get an error and do not redirect to the portal page

          That is because the captive portal only redirects web requests and if clients do not have DNS they cannot resolve URLs to get an IP to make a web request.
          https://www.netgate.com/docs/pfsense/captiveportal/captive-portal-troubleshooting.html#captive-portal-not-redirecting

          You will need to have a DNS override configured that resolves any URL to some IP that gets redirected. That is not something I have ever attempted. But this would appear to work in the DNS resolver custom options:

          server:
          local-zone: "." redirect
          local-data: ". A 192.168.1.1"
          

          Or use a real IP that is reachable there maybe.
          That would mean clients can't resolve anything though which might defeat the purpose of what you're doing....

                  If you need help with portal, you should be in the captive portal section.
