      Hi, i upgrade from RC3 to release few days ago and i having big troubles with captive portal, my users does not use autentication i use it for news about the net.

      The problem is: if the captive portal is active nobody can websurf, and in status report shows repeated mac a lot of times. I think that was a attack but even if i disconect the net and try with my local machines stills happen.

      The weird thing if that i have two alix board and both was updated at same time, and the other have  same config and works perfectly.

        If you have wireless users, then that repeated mac-address could be access point. because there are quite a few ip-addresses behind it

          I have wireless users, but all the access points are config in bridge, so pfsense always see the real MAC of client.
