      using pfsense 2.4.4 i have freeRadius setup to use mac authentication with captive portal but when users use their mac address to authenticate their browser launch, it says "your are connected" but the user is unable to get internet.
      Someone please explain what the problem is.

      I have around 80 devices total in my setup.
      wan1 speed 100mbits
      wan2 speed 20mbits
      i have a gigibit tp-link switch connected to pfsense and have 5 access point soho routers.
      have hp 4port nic.0_1540745634467_clientexport.png
      above also the opencpn client export is blank or broken in this version of pfsense. Dev need to have this fix asap.

              Install the Patch package.
              Read the Patch package manual (Netgate's pfSense doc).

              Or : as you already found out, it concerns only the edit of a file, a couple of lines.
              A good text editor like Ultraedit or Notepad++ and a tool like SmartFTP or FileZilla (both can handle SFTP access) and your do it as is done old fashioned way - ans still today : with your fingers. Btw : and keyboard.
