      Hello guys, how are you?

      I have a question, create a captive portal and putting a time limit for usage of 4 hours per day per customer.
      And after this usage of 4 hours, the User is offline.

      However after these four hours if the User reconnect it accesses for another 4 hours.

      But I wish he could only be released again to access the Internet after six hours unplugged.

      Example uses the Internet for 4 hours, and then waits 6 hours for reuse.

      You have this possibility in pfsense and captive portal?
      Its block by MAC, not the User, there is only one set.
      So then User / MAC connect and use all the time he will be able only to reconnect after 6 hours.

      It will be a unique User for the client. As the customer flow is very large, you do not get creating User and vouchers for all.

      Only I activated the captive portal with these options

      Hard timeout = 240
      Authentication = Local User Manager / Vouchers

      And create the guest User
      In System: User Manager
      With Effective Privileges = CaptivePortalUse
