[SOLVED] Captive Portal not working

[lukepower]

Hi guys,

I am trying to enable a captive portal for our guest net (with vouchers), as we will soon get a serious fiber connection and I need to make sure to be able to monitor decently.

Anyway, I followed the steps as described here: https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/guestnet.html

I honestly went through everything multiple times, each step again and again, but I still have the problem that, once a device connects to the guest network, it simply can access the net without any problems - no redirection to the portal/login page, no error, nothing.

Maybe somebody has an idea? I have the DNS forwarder enabled, DHCP configured as per the help page... I really dunno what else could be wrong here ...

Version Data:
OPNsense 16.1.9-amd64   
FreeBSD 10.2-RELEASE-p14   
OpenSSL 1.0.2g 1 Mar 2016


Thanks
Lukas

Hi Lukas,

Are you using bridging? If you do, that might explain why this doesn't work. Bridged interfaces have a lot of limitations under FreeBSD.

If that's not the case, can you try to run the following command in a console:

Code: [Select]

ipfw -aT list

And publish the output here.

Regards,

Ad

Hi Ad,

I am not using bridging, however the Guest WLAN net is on a VLAN tagged interface, maybe that makes a difference?

Hi Lukas,

That shouldn't make a difference, but by the look of your ipfw output it seems to be missing your interface selection (which is odd).
Just tried to add a zone to a vlan on my local vm and that seems to be producing the right output.

Can you create a screenshot of your zone settings?

Regards,

Ad

[lukepower]

Hi Ad,

thanks for your help. Do you mean a screenshot of my interfaces?
Like the attached one?

[AdSchellevis]

Hi Lukas,

Your welcome 

No, I mean a screenshot of your defined captive portal zone (Services -> Captive portal -> Administration)

Regards,

Ad

[lukepower]

Here we go

[AdSchellevis]

Looks normal, can you apply these settings again? Maybe something changed after applying the captive portal settings.
If that doesn't work, you may have to download your configuration xml and check the values in the captive portal settings.

[lukepower]

I reapplied the settings several times, as I also rebooted the firewall and used different mobile devices.
I dunno, maybe there is something wrong with the firewall rules? Like allowing access all the time?

[AdSchellevis]

The firewall rules shouldn't affect the captive portal behaviour, so its probably something different.
If you can share your config, you may send it to me for inspection (ad at project domain), its probably something small, but its hard to tell without all the details.
 

[lukepower]

Done

[AdSchellevis]

Got it, can you send me the contents of the file /usr/local/etc/ipfw.rules as well?
I have no machine to deploy the config on at the moment, and most settings seem to be ok.

[AdSchellevis]

Hi Lukas,

I think I found your problem, can you check if your "EOLO" interface is up? When I install your configuration on a machine over here it fails because it can't setup the pppoe connection for it (which is from here logical, but might very well be your issue as well).

If it isn't up or used, can you try to disable the interface and try again?

Regards,

Ad

[lukepower]

Oh interesting...

The EOLO interface is up (see screenshot).

I tried to disable it, in which case I simply have no internet access (neither on the Guest wlan, nor on my internal LAN).

[AdSchellevis]

Ok, we're getting close here. I was looking in the wrong direction, one moment
