Cap. port. on total local configuration.

Hello,

This is my configuration :

version RC1

WAN = 192.168.1/24
LAN = 192.168.0/24
WLAN = 192.168.2/24 (=OPT1)

Fix IP for all psfense interfaces = .1

Cap. port. is active for WLAN interface.

So, I am working without a real internet connection, so without DNS servers.

CAp. port. is working fine with the WiFi connection if I call in a webbrowser the adress 192.168.1.1 (with is the local WAN interface, so I receive a login window for the pfsense login).

Problem is that the cap. port. login isn't comming up if f.e. I use http://www.doesnmatherwithadress.com
I know WLANIP:8000 is an option but I what it having working also for those users how don't know anything about the configuration/network.

Someone an idee ?
Thanks.

You have to use the dns-forwarder of the pfsense for the wireless clients. Otherwise it can't redirect to the captive portal page. Set up your LAN DNS server at system>general and assign the wireless clients the pfsense wlan IP (done by default). Also uncheck "block private IP ranges" at interfaces>wan.
