Captive Portal no redirect to login page
-
Hello everybody,
I´m using pfsense 2.1.3 and i am very surprised of this little powerful firewall. But now, here is my first problem. I configured the captive portal as mentioned in serveral boards and to do´s - not a big thing. Created a user and a group with logon credentials. Now when i try to logon over the standard portal login site it won´t direct me to the login page. I start my browser - and the standard website will pop up. Only if i type 192.168.1.1:8000 pfsense shows me the standard login page - user and password will match. Firewall rules also. Has anybody an idea where my failure is? Maybe DNS settings? My WAN port is connected via DHCP to a router. There are two wireless access points connected to my Lan port over a switch.

Hello.
Can you list some more info.
Like:
Before using your AP's hooked up to the switch, did you tried to use your portal using directly the switch (with RJ45 cable) ?
Your WAN is WAN, LAN is LAN and portail interface is on interface OPT1, right ?What is your WAN IP, LAN IP and OPT1 (portal IP) ?
OPT1 (portal) firewall rules ?What portal authentication are you using ?
What were the setting you used to activate the portal interface ?
You has a look over here https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Captive_Portal_Setup ?
Or here https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=portal ?

Hello Gertjan,
thanks for your reply - finally i was able to solve my problem by myself - after hours :)
My problem was the DNS forwarding and the correct entry of the DNS server. So i was able to ping 8.8.8.8 but not google.com.
I could reach the captive portal via IP but not via name. After setting the correct entries it was working fine.Regards
