      Hello my friends i would like to post this question again in Captive portal , because it seems a common problem between CARP and Captive portal,
      I configured CARP in two PFsense machines as  follows
      Pfsense 1:
      WAN1:  78.150.140.252
      LAN1: 192.168.75.2
      Cayptive portal1:192.168.50.2
      s2nc1:192.168.80.2

      Pfsense 2:
      WAN2:  78.150.140.253
      LAN2: 192.168.75.3
      Captive portal2:192.168.50.3
      sync2:192.168.80.3
      Firewal => Virtual IPs : i set the WAN virtual IP as 78.150.140.251
                                                        LAN virtual IP as  192.168.75.1
                                                        Captive portal virtual IP :192.168.50.1
      then i edit the DHCP server of the Captive portal in such away the gateway is 192.168.50.1 (Virtual IP address of the Captive portal interface )

      i also edit the NAT for the whole entries => manual Outbound => translation interface =78.150.140.251(The virtual IP address of the WAN )

      CARP works good as redundancy , what ever i change in master machine , it changes automatically in backup machine.
      The problems , the clients connected to captive portal interface cant access internet , also i cant ping the virtual Ip address 192.168.50.1

      note : firewall for all interfaces : every thing allowed (any to any allowed)

      is there any thing to edit in the configuration or the DHCP server
      what do you suggest
      thanks

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