      hello,
      yesterday i updated to pfsense 2.3
      and now I've got multiple problems

      • the captive portal only works on mobile devices

      • when i connect to the wifi it will ask me to login on pfsense (so that's normal)

      • the mac filtering still works as it's meant to (allowing people to bypass the captive portal if there mac adresse is in the list)

      • the captive portal doesn't work on computers or laptops

      • when i connect to the wifi  and i haven't logged in it will not automatically redirect me to the captive portal

      • when i try to access the captive portal with the link (192.168.0.251:8002) all i get is a blank page

      may i also add that I've also got problems with squid

          Something is still broken in your setup.
          After a 'dummy' http request like http://www.google.fr, the navigator will be directed to '162.168.0.251:8002', nothing less, nothing more.
          The captive portal will show up.

          Adding something like "?zone=mdl" isn't needed.

          Check this with your PC's:
          DHCP activated on PC ?
          Did it get an IP ? Gateway IP ? DNS IP (should be as the gateway IP = pfSense) ?

          Of course, an initial https:// request won't work, this is normal.

          Use the default captive portal 'html login page' to start with.

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