WhatsApp calls do not connect after upgrade 2.5.2 -> 2.6.0
-
@colleytech Patch is ready, check System_Patches package
-
@colleytech Yep, we did also test 2.6.0 before we started the roll-out. However, we did not detect the problem that ICMP/UDP is blocked when using the captive portal. Bad luck. Next time we will wait longer before we upgrade ...
-
Yup, should be a system patches package update available that contains this as a recommended patch.
Please test it if you're able and let us know if anything is still not working as expected.

@stephenw10 working fine in my lab... thanks for the patch

@luisenrique Install the current System Patches package (2.0_4)
Then open Sys > Patches and apply the captive portal patch:
Then reboot.

@stephenw10 thank you very much it is fix

After i do insert ip address in allow capture portal, i have success in calling whatsapp.
-
With these networks white listed, the captive portal clients do not need to login to the portal before they use app like Whatsapp-"phone".
Is that what you want ? -
If the provided patch is applied to 2.6.0., WhatsApp is working also without adding those networks in the section "Allowed IP addresses". For example, if you want to use the Captive Portal function.

If the provided patch is applied to 2.6.0.,
Exact. without the patch, UDP and ICMP traffic was 'stuck'.
Adding networks to Services > Captive Portal > ZONE > Allowed IP Addresses wouldn't help you to solve that issue.
So, applying the patch is needed to give the captive portal network access to the Internet.
Adding networks to Services > Captive Portal > ZONE > Allowed IP Addresses will bypass the captive portal authentication for these networks/IPs.

@Diego-de-Santis
Again : is this what you want ?
And, for my own curiosity : why ? -
@luisenrique Thank you, after installing the patch the issue has been resolved. Hopefully, it will be fixed in the next update.

Thanks for your guide. I followed your steps, by installing the recommended system patch and also applying the custom patch.
Whatsapp calls now works fine on my Pfsense 2.6.0
