<![CDATA[FW with authentication]]>Can PFSense do user authentication into a NAT'd network without using VPN ?

Sorta like a reverse captive portal.

If so, is there any documentation or areas to look to set something like this up ?

I can VPN into this with openVPN, however, the PF box will already be in a secure network and I want to sandbox another 2 networks behind it and not have to use a second VPN.

User Authentication is fine whether local users of via an AD server on the internal side.

Thanks

But I can simplify the vpn for user based authentication via an AD or Radius server on the back side.

thoughts ?

thanks
