Don’t open automatic login page when user connect to wifi first time

[caytrevn]

Hi all, I have a problem with captive portal
My system:

• Pfsense server : WAN: DHCP IP: 10.0.1.246
                          LAN : 192.168.11.1/24        DHCP for LAN range: 192.168.11.10/24 ~ 192.168.11.200/24
• router wifi : Disable DHCP then connect to adapter LAN of server
• On server: Config service CAPTIVE PORTAL with LAN.
• I want to laptop connect to internet over service CAPTIVE PORTAL by autithencation by Username\password
  But when I connect to wifi first time, page login don’t lauch automatic
  I have to run IE, then typing address : 192.168.11.1:8000 ENTER , then page login appear
  My question: Why page login don’t lauch automatic?

Sounds like a DNS problem.

I tried it. I configured DNS default. But login page or portal page not appear

When the portal page doesn't come up it is almost always:

HTTPS set as browser's home page (go to a regular http site - just type 10.10.10.10 in the browser or something)
DNS (usually static DNS servers in the client even though they're DHCP)

Find out what port your portal is on and try connecting directly to that.  (eg http://192.168.10.1:8002)
