Hi all,

First I'm hoping to find a solution to my issue. I run a 200-users + Captive Portal with vouchers and users in pfSense. I have been coming to the realisation that not every user has tables and phones/computers that can show a CP login page.

I run 9 TP-Link access points, all running OpenWRT. All seem fine with two SSIDs (Staff VLAN 1 and Guest VLAN 10). I came across PPSK; I was hoping to use this with OpenWRT and FreeRADIUS, to to just have the tunnel-password option as the main login. I don't have MAC addresses, just a list of pre-made passcodes I have imported into the user config file. i just the impermanent this into pfsense with no look, but been opensense i snot a million miles away I would be happy to mover my main router over to opnsense is it would work.

My question has anyone done this or is there another solution.

Thank you
Adam

Sometimes you can install additional "Helper Software" so to speak to connect those devices so you could also look at those for your specific Clients :)
