No, pfsense does not support this. But why would you require a device to login with a voucher, if you already authenticated this device using its MAC address ? It seems a bit strange to do so

Pfsense support this feature. Selecting "Disable concurrent logins" will cause tout iphone to get disconnected when your laptop will connect

@free4 Thank you.So i run a Wisp and i recently placed an access point at some site for public Wifi,so i was worried that someone might misplace his voucher and it gets used by another person.So a Mac binding with the voucher would prove efficient.How about Radius Servers?

Try what has been said here : One Voucher Per Device
I proposed a modification that changes the behaviour of the Concurrent user logins setting. An option for "only the first login" is present.@free4 said in Can a captive portal voucher be fixed on only a specific Device:

I maintained that possibility which has good reasons to exists.
New : the other way around : a reuse use of a voucher or login is prohibited while an active connection using that voucher or login exists. This minimizes the risk of passing along the voucher, voluntary, or not. One could loose his voucher, another person couldn't use it (again).
