      @krashneo:

      I changed my form from:

      To:

      to see the results… I will reply asap

      Did you try to change your old redirect URL "http%3A%2F%2F172.16.0.1%2F" == "http://172.16.0.1/"
      to "http://www.google.com" instead of changing the source ?

      What pfSense version ? - is it patched or modified ?

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

        The same here.
        After re-applying the squid settings it stopped to logs the errors, but after 2 or 3 days (depends on load) it reappears

                Aug 28 10:22:38	pfsense.localdomain		nginx: 2019/08/28 10:22:38 [alert] 54908#100145: send() failed (40: Message too long)
                

                I experienced this also in latest pfsense right now. my captive portal disconnects .I hope there is a fix for this.

                  @dyobetem I also have this issue since 2 months and its related to Captive Portal. i have 2500+ captive portal users and 2 WAN. i changed a lot of settings in nginx but useless. still i am getting these errors. I've pfsense 2.4.4-P3 Lastest version.

                  i have already mentioned this issue in given blow post ( last Issue )

                    @wazim4u : Do you redirect a new, just logged-in user to an URL ( setting After authentication Redirection URL ) ?

                    b504e6ad-41e8-4aba-900a-b64db7af5a32-image.png

                    This is what I think : when a user logged in using the IP (or URL) of the captive portal page, the users browser gets redirected to the same URL (== the captive pprtal's web server).... which will redirect again - to itself -, and again, and again etc - recursif. The URL thrown back to the browser becomes to big, nginx will finally produce the "send() failed (40: Message too long)" error.

                    For myself, I redirect, no matter what, to "https://www.google.com" but you can take any URL like a your companie's site.

                    Another explanation : you have quiet a lot of portal users. Not every user uses the latest smart devices /PC's with the latest OS and the best browsers.
                    Even I see still IE8 (Windows XP) connecting to my portal.
                    These ancient devices are not portal aware. They won't behave correctly.

                    Or even : not all the apps are written the same way. At least, Apple reviews (some what) each and every app before it's released - the Android society is a pure zoo. So, a bad app can throw out an URL that's to big. nginx will bail out.

                    So, mind you, these are all theories.
                    I do not have the test park to test them.

                    Edit : and where are the logs ??

                        Sure.
                        No news after more then one year : that means : no issue.

                        We are also 2 (at least) version of pfSense further on.
