Is there no possible way for captiveportal- files to read a specific port ??

[dylanh724]

I'm going a bit crazy –

I have a RESTful service to send login info to on port 7833 (I can change the port, but no other port works but 80 -- but can't do 80).

Every time, it fails. Adding to the "allowed IP addresses" is apparently only port 80.. how do I allow a different port on same allowed IP? It doesn't allow me to specify. Help!

At first, I thought I could just make a PHP file instead to talk to it (php file is back-end, right?) .. but no, times out as well! What?

So confused .. ideas, except to change RESTful service to port 80?

Cheers.

I already showed you ( https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=69499.msg494565#msg494565 ) that devices that are on the "Captive Portal network segment" can communicate freely when their IP is on the "Allow" list.
But, of course, (your !) firewall rules on the "Captive Portal network segment interface" apply for 'outgoing' connections.

As asked before : do you really have no time to hand over a more details network setup ?

might be a reasonable question for you. Understand that a lot of info is missing, and this (might) explain why there are no answers.
