      Hmm Captive portal you say.
      Nice catch.  :)
      That hadn't occurred to me.

      Case solved then. At last.  ::)

      You can remove logging from the firewall rule if you wish.

      The take away message from this, as is almost always the case, is always do things one step at a time.

        yeah he mentioned setting up a hotspot a couple of times - but still hadn't clicked in.

        So woke in the middle of the night last night, was just reading some reddit/email/etc cuz couldn't sleep and noticed he PM'd his new IP.  So was taking a look see, thought shoot will setup a vpn connection and try that.  I was seeing my hits in the log, even did a capture on his pfsense lan interface and yup saw the syn and the syn/ack back.

        So why wasn't my box seeing it?  I didn't see it blocked in the lan rules - then "hotspot" clicked and noticed the captive portal widget with nobody authed/allowed/etc.
