      i just installed pfsense on the school network because i needed an hotspot solution.

      I have a DC(window Server 2012) 10.6.4.2/22 which has DNS and DHCP installed. Also a radius server 10.6.4.3/22 and PFsense 10.6.4.1.

      I activated the captive portal and logged in with my credential on the domain and it redirected me to the site and stopped browsing the internet but the portal shows my account to be connected.

      how can i resolve this.

        Hi,

        Do you have any packages installed ?
        Using LAN or another interface for the portal ?
        Firewall rules ?
        Is pfSense your WAN gateway ?
        It seems to me that it isn't a good idea to remove DHCP and DNS from pfSense.

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          i have a dhcp and dns server which is on the DC before the pfsense.
          i have not installed any package and i am using LAN for the Portal
          No firewall rules
          Pfsense is the gateway

            Good luck  ::)

            (P.S. DNS servers must be allowed through the CP or nothing works.)
