Title: Captive Portal Random Routing Forwarding Issues

I have captive portal issue started sometime 25.x, may free wifi is in vlan 15.
after a while it will randomly "crash" or block all access. DHCP works though ping to the
gateway ip returns timed out. ping to other devices within the network is ok.
there will be no Internet connection.

solution with no effect
1) restart or stop/start captive portal
2) restart or stop/start ubound
3) restart or stop/start DHCP
4) I think i have tried restart to no effect

solution to recover from issue
1) change IP of VLAN Interface, usually from 192.168.88.1 to 192.168.88.2 and vice versa if .2 does the same issue

I have tried to check other logs, but there are no mention of captive portal crashing or bad database. vene on the captive portal logs.
it is as if randomly it just blocks accesss. and restart of portal does not seem to have an effect.
only if I change the IP of vlan interface.
