        Yes, you can just block/reject connections from that IP to the server using a firewall rule on WAN. Just put of above the pass rule(s).

          I finally fix IP to the LAN side of the host (WIN 10 - RJ45), the one I connect to the router that clients. So Now Emby is in the same network like the clients so, is now accesible via 192.168.100.135, and without Authentification, thats the problem now.
          I dont want to block connection to that IP, I want them to log in before access to that IP, even if its in LAN

            If it's in the same subnet as the clients connecting to it that traffic never goes through pfSense so it cannot filter it. Or act on it in any way such as applying captive portal login.

              Hello, thank you for your patience and replies.

              Please is that a way to open a new web to client after authentificate ?

              The problem is that, on mobile device, after authentificate, the redirect page closes itself.

              Thank you

                The 'After authentication Redirection URL' page from the captive portal?

                If their browser closes it there's not much you can do. Once the CP is passing their traffic it does not redirect them again unless they are logged out.

                  @stephenw10 Ok, It's too bad....
                  For users, It's that a way to create a period of validity ? For exemple I create a voutcher of 1440 minute (24h) of internet access, which can be valid for 3 days. Means He can connect himself when he wants.

                    Hmm, I'm not sure if you can set an expiry date for vouchers. You can obviously remove them manually.

                      @stephenw10 Lol For all users, No I can't. Is it possible with user account (username and password) ?

                        You can set an expiry date for local users sure.
