      I setup a custom portal page and it's not working as intended and I'm struggling to figure out why. The inital redirect happens when I try to access a website (i.e. google) and this the URL that is displayed in the browser bar:

      192.168.1.1:8000/index.php?rediurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F
      

      My custom page is displayed, but if I enter my predefined user or a voucher, I get redirected right back to it (instead of to google.com as my example):

      192.168.1.1:8000
      

      Here's the relevant form from my custom page, which is named index.php:

      
      <form method="post" action="$PORTAL_ACTION$">
      
      # STEPHENNET NETWORKS
      
      Please authenticate with username/password given
      
      username:
      password:
      voucher code:
      
      My end goal is to be able to use vouchers and username/passwords, and neither are working. Don't know if there's a mistake in my HTML or not, but I can't seem to put a finger on it…..
      </form>

        What browser are you using?

        What happens if you give an invalid voucher code?

        If you give a valid voucher code is this accepted and registered as "in use"? (See Status -> Captive Portal, click on Active Vouchers tab)

        My knowledge of HTML is small. Why are using class="form-login" in the input fields? My captive portal greeting page doesn't include the class element in the input tags.

          I use Chrome 95% of the time, but Internet Explorer and Firefox also produce the same results. I don't get an error page if I submit an invalid voucher code, nor do I show a voucher code in use if I submit a valid one. The class is just used for styling, it's being referenced from a CSS file….

            In Firefox 3.6.24 I connected to my pfSense 2.0.1 Captive Portal. In the Firefox View menu I selected Page Source and it displayed

            <center>

            Caleb's Internet Cafe

            </center>

            <form method="post" action="http://192.168.51.211:8000/">
            Please enter your authorisation information:

            Username: and
              Password:

            OR

            Voucher Code:

            Then click the Continue button below:

            </form>

            in a new window. I went back to the CP home page, entered a valid voucher code and went straight to http://www.google.com.au/advanced_search.

            I think the basic CP mechanism works. Maybe some of the "fancy" HTML in your page is getting in the way. Your document appears to have a closing tag ("") without a matching opening tag ("<a>") and the "
            " tags seem an unusual construct.</a>

              I mentioned problems when I enter on CP page as redirection URL jus:
              www.google.com

              I need to enter:
              http://www.google.de

              Then the redirection is working - if without http:// I got a loop.

              Not sure, if this is related to your problem.
