        Hi.

        The road to the solution isn't any different today.

        Is there something we missed, like how you set it up ? How can we see what you did, or didn't ?
        You looked at other messages here on this forum?

        Saying "it doesn't work" will never bring you close to a working solution.

        So: please: details.

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

          Are you sure the client pc is connected through LAN interface?
          Did you somehow enable captive portal on WAN interface?

              I have the same problem with this. I'm currently using pfsense 2.2.4, during my first few weeks, captive portal was working perfectly and smooth. after a few days, I could still connect to network resource without logging in through captive portal, I also set a idle timeout to 60 minutes on LAN interface only.

              Captive portal on LAN only.

              Installed and active packages:
              darkstat
              iftop
              lightsquid
              mailreport
              nmap
              notes
              routed
              squid
              squidguard

                See this message : https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=98324.msg548173#msg548173 - and just ask your : why did he asked if 'squid' is installed ?!

                Re-install your pfSEnse - install ONLY ONE package at the time.
                Do thorough testing …
                Find out yourself when things break.
                Now you know what package you should NOT install, because it break the captive portal  ;D

                I'll give you a hint : https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=98324.msg548173#msg548173
