Devices bypassing captive-portal
-
Greetings,
I have captive-portal configured on my LAN with no authentication other than a button click. Some devices (mostly smartphones) are given an IP address by DHCP without going through the captive-portal authentication process. I'm running a default install of pfSense 2.1.1-RELEASE-pfSense (amd64).
How would I go about trouble-shooting the reason why this is happening? Is this a known bug? If so, is there an solution I can implement until it is fixed in future releases.
Thank you,
Scott

Huh? Whut? :o ???
You know, there cannot be any CP authentication (not even a click-thru) without ALL the devices getting an IP first… This is NOT a bug.

There was actually a CP bug in 2.1.1 that will be fixed in 2.1.2 (coming hopefully today)

But that wouldn't necessarily have caused issues for everyone.
