Schedule conflict with captive portal?

[billdeng]

Hi all,

I got a situation with my pfsense box. I have did some search in the forum and got no clues. I don't know it is a bug or I did something not correctly.

The settings of my pfsense box is very simple. I use pfsense for NAT and use captive portal for gateway authorisation. Everything works fine before I add some scheduling rules to block some IP for certain times.

Does anyone else got this situation also?

Thanks
Bill

when you disable the rules that have schedules with them, does the problem go away? If so then it is a schedule conflict.

Thank you for suggestion. I have not trying to diables the schedule rules. I did a reinstall and have not configure the schedule rules this time.

Actually I have another two pfsense boxes. all of them run fine with captive portal and without schedule rules. And I have tried twice with captive portal and scheduling and all going wrong.

Can you be more specific on what is wrong?

Hi, I have the same problem.
As soon as you define a schedule, the captive portal stops working: everyone bypasses it.
Even if you don't use the schedule at all..

You have to remove the schedule and reboot pfSense to get the captive portal working again.

I found out that this is an old problem:

I'm using pfSense 1.2.3 on an Alix board, btw.

In 1.2.3 its not possible only 2.0 allows you to use schedules with CP.
