No Internet on my captive portale

[comeback1106]

I think the problem client don't redirect to captive portal page is your dns. Don't manual config dns on your computer. I have see this problem and resolve this by using this way.

I've managed to have internet on my Guest interface by working on the rules of pfsense , but no CP :(

I directly go to internet without authentication.

When I enter 192.168.110.253:8004 I see the CP but if I try to log in nothing happens.

I've entered the DNS adresse on the allowed IP addresses. Even the APs but it doesn't work.

This interface is an OPT1 I don't know if it matters.

…
and the rules on that interface are ?
Any special settings ? (looking at your schema's, I'm prepared to see a not-simple thing).

[ayoub92400]

No nothing special .

I put only 3 rules…


[Gertjan]

Looks good to me.
First rule : doing what ? but ok.
Second rul : a pass-all.
Third rule : IPv6 will never make it here, the IPFW (or whatever) will block any incoming Ipv6 traffic. The portal code isn't IPv6-ready neither.

When you disable the captive portal service, the interface does offer "Internet" access ?

[ayoub92400]

Yes I still have Internet when I disable the CP

[Gertjan]

Perfect.
That proves that firewall rules for that NIC are ok.

The issue must be: the captive portal doesn't understand your network setup.
Or: a DNS issue ? captive portal users should use the pfSense DNS and DHCP.

[ayoub92400]

I've setup a DHCP and my clients all have the pfsense as DNS and DHCP .

I really don't know what is happening.

I've setup the dns forwarder maybe I made a mistake.


[ayoub92400]

Good news! It works :D

I made a new fresh installation of Pfsense and now all the CPs are good!

We had exact the same problem. Restoring an older (working) backup configuration doesn't fix the problem, a factory reset doesn't fix the problem, a fresh install and everything is working again. Really strange…
