      Hi All,

      I have configured captive portal with mac address authentication to allow users to access the internet. I want to check which user used how much bandwidth? How can I check it with details for downloading and uploading usage per user?

        pfSense's captive portal is for the most part time-based, not usage-based.

        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

            Like I just said, pfSense's captive portal is time-based, not usage-based.  There is nothing in the gui that will tell you how much a user has transferred because pfSense doesn't care.  It cares how long a user has been connected.
