Title: Captive Portal and Logs
Post by: Throyr on August 23, 2017, 03:48:23 pm

Hey folks !

We are testing the OPNSense 17.1 version, to use it for its captive portal in a first time. Works pretty good !

As a network provider company, we have to know who's doing what. So our question : Can we have the mac address (and any others informations) of our logged users in the logs files?

We don't find it in the "Captive Portal -> Log File", so it's maybe in another section.

Last question : can we export easily to a Syslog server the logs of the Captive Portal?

Thanks for reading me and taking time to answer !

You would need to cross reference the IP address of a client against the DHCP database. I am pretty sure OPNsense does not record MAC addresses in any other log.
