Connect pfSense to wifi hotspot with login
-
I have a small LAN that I use for some adhoc Minecraft LAN parties:
router (DHCP) –-- switch ---- 10 clients
I want to enable internet access to my clients by doing this:
ISP –- pfSense --- router (DHCP) ---- switch ---- 10 clients
The issue is that the ISP is really a Wifi hotspot with a web page used to log on with username and password.
Can I (by adding Wifi options to an pfSense appliance) connect to this wifi hotspot and share this internet connection with my LAN?

Possibly havent dont it myself, check out this link as you might need to log into the wifi login page from a computer behind pfsense before you can get pfsense to connect properly. pfSense would have a wifi dongle/modem on its wan interface.
https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Accessing_modem_from_inside_firewallpfsense can also do the dhcp if you wanted to go for this type of setup.
