** I think this should be the right category, as It's more a general question **<br />
Using Pfsense 2.1.15<br />
I managed to configure a Captive Portal using working fine.<br />
Now I want to implement a RADIUS Server Authentication, but it's not working as it should.<br />
The Radius server (freeradius) is running on a debian machine, IP 192.168.2.13/24, and is connected to OPT1.<br />
Specific Clients connect though LAN Interface (192.168.1.1/24), on this Interface, CP is running and is connected to switch.<br />
Any client that is connected to the LAN interface is redirected to the CP portal Page, 192.168.1.1:8002, so far working fine.<br />
But when entering any credentials on the CP Page, any client will only receiv the message "Error sending request : No valid RADIUS responses received".<br />
But when I check on Freeradius debug mode, I see that the credentials have been sent, and when valid, have been accepted.<br />
So it looks like the response is not returned to the CP.<br />
Also for test, I allowed full packet traffic from the OPT1 interface to LAN interface.<br />
Still the same issue.<br />
Please what could be the cause if this issue ?<br />
Any help would be appreciated. I have attached some screenshots.<br />
Thanks !<br />
