What is a Captive Portal?
A captive portal is a security feature in Pfsense that allows authorized users to enter a secure web page while preventing unauthorized access.
Pfsense can be used as a captive portal for internal or external users.
When configured as an external captive portal, Pfsense can be used to allow employees, contractors, and visitors to enter a secure website without having to provide their login credentials. This is particularly useful for companies that want to protect their employees’ login credentials but also allow them access to certain websites.
When configured as an internal captive portal, Pfsense can be used to allow authorized users access to a private network while preventing unauthorized access. This is helpful when you want to restrict access to certain areas of your network but still allow authorized users access to the internet.
