      Hi friends!
      In my pfsense I have 2 interfaces:
      WAN: 192.168.0.1 - local network (from this interface users must redirect to authorization page)
      LAN: 10.10.2.246 - network which have access to the internet

      When i try to going, for example google.com - browser nothing load(need to see auth page). And when I go to 192.168.0.23 - i can see authorization page. I`m login at this page and now i can access to google.com.

      What problem?
      Sry for my english =/
      Thanks!

        Just to be clear, are you saying that when the captive portal is enabled, users are not being redirected to the log-in page?
        Has this worked previously for you, or is this a fresh install?  Also, what do your firewall rules look like?

          Whe you want to connect internet from LAN to WAN then you must do the following:

          Enable the CaptivePortal on interface LAN (and not the WAN interface).
          The clients on the LAN network must use the pfsense DNS forwarder als DNS Server or it will NOT work.
          On LAN interface you must at least allow the port 8000 which is the CP.

            One thing I might also add, we simply added our DNS server addresses to the Allowed IP list and that resolved our problem.
            We were experiencing exactly what you are.

              I enable only on LAN interface, 8000 allowed. This didn't help me.
