Really???
I take it you get bit by a lot of snakes, since you don't see them ;)

@johnpoz need to install it under the Package Manager :-) I got this error:
"Patch Fetch Failed" i used this URL: https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/compare/master...Augustin-FL:patch-captivportal-reconfigure-no-configbump.diff -
I suggest you actually read the instructions again ;) Not sure where you got the idea that was the patch url??
-
@johnpoz i read the earlier post, but i tried the one: https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/pull/4042.diff, successfully got the patch. Do I have to reboot or just restart the CP service?
-
@sox1600 please read the instructions again. the correct url to use is
https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/compare/RELENG_2_4_4...Augustin-FL:fix-reconfig-for-2-4-4.diff
the instructions can be found here : https://forum.netgate.com/topic/137824/pfsense-no-internet-when-it-is-said-you-are-connected/13

@jurhein

@soheil-amiri yes.

Hummm.
You posted here, in this thread. So you must have read this thread.
What you mean with "unsolved" is that, after finding the problem, finding this thread, concluding that you have the same problem, applying the solution, you still have a problem which is : users show connected in Status > Captive Portal > [ZONE] after a reboot ?edit : well, in that case : you are correct.
I logged in to my portal.
Saw that I showed up in Status > Captive Portal > [ZONE]
Also, I checked that I was listed into the two ipgw tables :ipfw table cpzone1_auth_down list ipfw table cpzone1_auth_up list( my zone is called cpzone1 )
I reboot pfSense.
After the Status > Captive Portal > [ZONE] still showed I was logged in.
The ipfw table where empty ....
So, I saw the "You are connected." ...... again.The solution :
Look (search) this part in the file /etc/inc/system.inc :function system_reboot_cleanup() { global $config, $cpzone, $cpzoneid;Right after 'global', add " $g, "
function system_reboot_cleanup() { global $g, $config, $cpzone, $cpzoneid;Btw :
@free4 : you confirm ?
This issue is fixed upstream. I guess was created when it was backported ?In this function system_reboot_cleanup(), the global "{$g['vardb_path']}" is used.
The result (before adding the $g) is that deleting the captive portal logged in database is NOT deleted with
unlink_if_exists("{$g['vardb_path']}/captiveportal{$cpzone}.db");
because "{$g['vardb_path']}" is empty (non defined). So the command tries to delete something inexistant, the captive portal user database survives the reboot ... -
I was add $g like you said and reboot, but user still logged in captive portal, my captive portal zone name is 'cp', and strangely everytime i save change or when i click disconnect all users interface that i selected on captive portal will be freeze and i must reboot the router to make it work again.
-
When you add the "$g, ", the logged-in user data base is destroyed - when pfSense reboots, it won't show show any logged in users - because the 'list' is deleted.
Did you 'really' edited the file /etc/inc/system.inc ?
(and before, apply the patch stated above ? )@dhmyess said in Pfsense, No internet when it is said "You are connected".:

Freeze ?
Logs ?
Other user ?
ipfw table list ? (see https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/captiveportal/captive-portal-troubleshooting.html )
Can you detail ? -
@Gertjan Yes, I've ready apply this patch and then edited the file /etc/inc/system.inc but no changes.
Am I use wrong patch??
sorry for slow respon, I have to wait for users not using the network to work, I do not want to get complaints from them because of my trial.
For freezing issues it's probably due to motherboard problems or bios bugs, because other machines aren't affected.
-
First solve "motherboard problems or bios bugs" - then post back concerning portal problems.
I'm using the patch sited above :
and also edited /etc/inc/system.inc - for the sole reason that when I restart pfSense the "connected user database" should be deleted.
Note that I rarely reboot pfSense ... so that "^$g" patch is not very important.I even don't need the " https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/compare/RELENG_2_4_4...Augustin-FL:fix-reconfig-for-2-4-4.diff " because I never edit portal settings ... why should I ? It up and running for years now.
I do have an entire hotel - about 20 people are connected daily - and all works well.

@Gertjan apparently I used the wrong patch, after i use patch
https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/compare/RELENG_2_4_4...Augustin-FL:fix-reconfig-for-2-4-4.diff
it works!!!
problem solved, I am very very grateful for your help -
Hi there,
First time Captive Portal user: following this video tutorial and the login page came up right away the moment I logged into GUEST network/WiFi and then straight way presented with "You are connected" but no Internet access, just like every one else reported here (hence, reading this page). Also updated this patch, as suggested but still no joy yet. I'm on the latest v2.4.4-RELEASE-p3 and using only the Voucher based access. Could any one help me out with any suggestions and stuff pls?-San
