      I already have a wired and wireless LAN network behind a firewall.

      wired devices –----------------------------------------[ switch ] –----- [firewall] –--- internet
                                                                                      |
                                                                                      |
      wireless devices --- [access points] –---------------------

      i want to force all connected devices (wired and wireless) to go through a captive portal. How can I achieve that using PFSense?

      My initial thought is I will need to put PFSense between switch and firewall. But, I am not sure how to configure PFSense to do that. I don't want PFSense to perform NAT or DHCP, want to only use its captive portal functionality. Any pointers will be appreciated.

        activate captive portal on the firewall port (assumed pfsense based) where the switch is connected.
