I installed the Patch 2.0_4

So you have a new menu item here :

Click on Patches.

And then to the click on patch "(Redmine #12834)" as mentioned above.

@gertjan
aha....that's where it is!!:-))
Thanks for your help.....now I have to test it.....
As you may have gathered I am not an expert in this patch blah blah....
I'm old school....user to have a SUSE Linux Firewall...with CLI and all that..

Anyway one last question.....would you advise me that I "apply" the remaining patches or should I only explicitly choose those when a problem occurs??

Bilgram

@gertjan
oh dear....I assume I have to do a REBOOT in order for the patch to take effect?!?

You can apply them all.

Bilgram

i did it only. And worked great.

You just allowed (white listed) all the IP addresses, starting from 192.168.60.1 to 192168.60.254, or, the entire /24 network. Your entire captive portal network ?

All these devices that get an IP in that network assigned, will pass through the portal without seeing any login page or what so ever.

You might as well shut down the captive portal completely : that works also great.

The issue (if I recall well - 2.6.0 is a long time in the past for me) was : pfSense 2.6.0 only passes TCP traffic, not ICMP, neither UDP. That was a big bug, and breaked a lot.

As said on the first line, above :

After upgrade to 2.6 captive portal is blocking whatsup (audio and video, chat works fine), I did test other app like instagram and it's works fine.
when I disable the captive portal, whatsup goes back to work normal.

See also : UDP/ICMP is not working after upgrade to 2.6.0

I guess it's still a question of : install the System patches package, then apply all the patches listed in this package.
Done.
