      Post your CP config. You might have a combination of options that breaks it.

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

        Been poking around and tonight I came across this in my system logs and seems to be the reason the portal is failing…

        I didn't notice this before but I decided to kill process 47600.  After doing this, the captive portal was able to start and function 100%

            I saw that and not sue what it is from.  I do have a redirect URL entered but not sure if that's what was causing this issue.  The same redirect URL is there in my now working config.  I have not had any issues so far sine I killed the process and restarted the captive portal.
