Captive Portal fails regularly after upgrading from 2.0.1 to 2.0.2

eri--

yesterday i've deployed 2.0.3 with a ssl cert from startssl & Radius auth on a Win2K8r2

i've seen that too:
Jan 31 19:57:20 	lighttpd[21213]: (connections.c.305) SSL: 1 error:140760FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:unknown protocol
Jan 31 19:57:20 	lighttpd[21213]: (connections.c.305) SSL: 1 error:140760FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:unknown protocol
doesn't seem to affect the portal … i've had +40 portal users all day without complaints

That's just a warning because it tries to forward anything on tcp to port 80 which has been reduced only to tcp traffic on 2.1 version of pfSense.
Since the client is trying an https://www.pfsense.org but the firewall redirection sends it to a simple HTTP talking webserver you get the warning.

@Abdsalem:

Running latest snapshot of PRERELEASE-2.0.3 (31/01/2013)

I can also confirm what the last 2 posters have reported, though it doesnt seem to affect the CP users.

I am also seeing a lot of the following.

There have been some more fixes after that specifically for this.
Actually in general you will get better performance from 2.0.[2|3] than 2.0.1 since of a bug in php.

hi, its not working for me, im using mac address to pass via portal and its not working, the only thing that works is that when you put the ip address of the said station. Can anyone help ?
